Maybe it's just me, but I like the coupe front better than the sedan. I would like a sedan with the coupe front. Anyone else?

I'm pretty sure it's a simple swap, too. My buddy had a GTI that he traded fronts with a Jetta. It took about an hour or so to do it. I just have to find someone willing to trade that's close. (I also have to decide what color I want and then actually get the car first...)

It shouldn't be hard to find someone that's selling their OEM coupe front bumper. I'm not really liking it (but I like it more than the sedan's). There should be a fair amount of people wanting to get rid of their OEM bumper for an aftermarket one. I might as long as they're not too crazy. I still want a clean looking ride.

Great idea. I just hope I don't contribute to someone ricing their car...have you seen the dragon??Scourge said:It shouldn't be hard to find someone that's selling their OEM coupe front bumper.

I dunno guys. Ther line down the side of the sedan is very pronounced. If thats the right word to describe it, and it flows through the wheel well to the front bumper...
I'm just saying that it would be our luck that the line would be in the wrong spot. Too high, or too low, or just odd...
Only time will tell, another option is to get the euro/asian bumper and headlights. Or one of the many rice boy body kits that will appear within 6 months...

I've looked at several pics, although no side-by-side comparisons. It looks like the sedan and coupe front bumpers should be interchangable, no problem. Anyone have/going to get a silver coupe within reasonable miles of Louisville?
Also, what would this do as far as warranty?

Look up certifit in the yellow pages. They have parts that look exactly like OEM at a much lower cost. many body shops go to this company to get replacement parts after you have been in a car accident.

^^^ Thanks, but the closest one is 4 hours away in St. Louis. Who knows, I may still give them a call. I'm sure I'll visit someone out there eventually (or they can ship).

I just saw the Coupe and Sedan side by side. Xenin is right. The fenders are noticeably different. So, it'll be a pricey swap after all... The only part (exterior) that looks 100% interchangeable between the coupe and sedan is the hood and wipers.Xenin said:
Might be too much work to do a bumper swap.

That's no good. I guess I'm going to have to see them side by side myself. From the pictures, they look like they have the same lines and curves. Even if it doesn't work, I can still dream the dream.

Well, this is what College Hills Honda has to say:
We haven't had much time to check for Civic modification applications. Once more vehicles are available we will be able to check into questions like yours. At this time I'm going to say that they will not be interchangable but I can't say for sure.

Bummer. That's what I figured, but I thought it might work. Thanks for all the replies.
