Default JDM Front End Question

Would an EF8 front end fit on an EF hatchback or are they very different. I kind of like the whole for the fog lights in the EF8 front end where as you have to cut for the EF9 front end. TIA.
did do a search, but i got the run around.

Send me a pick of your bumper. I have a few templates for fog light installs.

i don't have a bumper right now due to the fact of this question, but if you do a search, i'm sure you can find pictures of both an EF8 and an EF9 front end.

You can do it if you use the complete front end, you can't just swap bumpers though.

Hoods are the same, you'll need to use the Civic bumper, filler piece, and fenders.

IMO the fenders will look like crap mainly cause the crx has a oem side skirt that is pretty big and not a real good matchup to the civic door.

so is there no way to just put the crx front end and use the civic side fenders rather?
