Default Possible to get 2dr or HB bumper on a 4dr EG?

^^ title Q

Much prefer the styling of the 2dr/HB front ends, but I've got a sedan. Can I change this, and if so, how hard would it be?

Get the Front Fenders (shut up Ricey ) and sidemarker lights and bumper and I think you are in business ...and maybe hood...but keep asking I am not sure about that.

the bumper will bolt on with no problem but wont align with the fender.
i have the 2dr bumper on mine and i dont mind the lil gap.

Nice link ... from there is this 3rd pic of singlecam screamer's install ...



that fitment looks kinda off there, don't know how that'd fly. Might just be the colour contrast though, can anyone do a quick photochop color match?

Edit - Or if you're in a really generous mood OZ Rally ... could you take a quick pic or two of yours? I'll give you a :D

it fits fine without getting new fenders, but new holes must be drilled onto either the fender or bumper (your choice) so the screws can line up... also it is better to use some coupe corner lights (i think) so the gap is gone

Edit - okay, after being 0wnt severely, the final word is:

Bumper
Fenders
Corners

And that's it?


Okay, I'll try to put this all in one since I've only got one post for the next 24h :cries:

Okay, so we've established it can be done, and it's a direct bolt-on. cool

Putting the coupe bumper on by itself will result in a misfit, so I can ...

- Live with it
- Replace the corners with 2dr style
- Replace hood, fenders, lights, side markers, etc
- say F it all and get a body kit

the first option is the cheapest/ghettoest/Stunna-ist solution. more like a stopcat until i can do one of the later solutions

second, replacing the corners - will the coupe/HB lights fit in properly? or would they normally not fit but because of the coupe bumper they align right?

3rd sounds expensive and tough, I don't wanna go that route. if I'm going to spend that much time and effort I'll ...

Last option - get a (subdued, tasteful, non riceboy) bodykit

Again, thanks to all who are helping me out, and I'll be back when this posting limit wears off. (When do I become a "normal user" anyhow?)

i dont think you need the hood, headlights or sidemarkers for this to line up right... just fenders, corners and bumper

For the record, I only used the Si Hatch front bumper and corners. I have a hatch hood, but that didn't matter at all.
