hey guys,

i have been wanting to swap out the front bumper on my sedan and replace it with the coupe version. does anyone know if i can simply buy the bumper and clip back into place or will i have to have some fabrication done?
thanks!

I agree...with body kit front ends usually the same part number for two and four doors the swap should be simplly that...however I do recommend picking up some extra bumper clips from your local dealership. I have a clip removal tool and a lot of patience but still managed to damage a few of them little sob's.

ok, thats what i was thinking. i've also had my share of umbrella clip headaches. i broke about 8 while installing my CAI and i had to dirve around for about two weeks with a flopping fender since the nearest dealership is 97 miles away

I work about two blocks away from the dealer I bought my civic from. They are $4 each if I remember right. If you get to hurting to bad I can try to hook you up with a little mail order. No personal checks!

Ha Ha!
