CRX & Civic Bonnet Swap..

[Rivic]

Hey Does anyone know weather the ED model CRX bonnets with the 'Power Lump' fit onto the same model (ED) Civics?.. and also with the projector headlights & Eyelids for the crx do they fit the Civic?..
Cheers,
Jason...

not 100% sure but i think the headlights are a different shape (length) if that is the case the headlights, radiator and front bar would need to be swapped as well

by the 'power lump' do u mean that small raised part where the cam gears are?

[Rivic]

^^^ Yeah got told thats wot it was called?...:confused:

got a pic of ur headlights?
i'm sure theyshould fit, it may be just the bracket that is different. IF it is then you may need to use ur existing bracket.
but not hte parker lights because they're a different shape.
The bonnet should fit,

if you go to honda-tech.com you would get a definite answer as they have done a few crx front ends on their ef civics

They are exactly the same as the Euro and Japanese Civic Si had the same bonnet. It's a straight swap. Buy your bonnet and bolt it on from what I understand - I've seen enough ED hatches and sedans running around with it.

It's only the VTEC bonnets (SiR in Japan and VT in Europe) that have different shaped headlights/filler panel. These bonnets are completely convex as oppoesed to the Aussie Civic/CRX bonnets which are concave.

thanks for that! good info! as i have a CRX front bar and Bonnet to go on my ED
not sure if the front bar fits as yet, looks like it will BUT the indicators in the front bar are a different shape so i need to get CRX ones :(

The 4 door civic has different shape guards and bonnet they might look the same but they do not fit the Hatch or the CRX.Head lights seem to be the only thing the same.

The ED hatch and CRX hoods are interchangable. I have a ED hood with no lump on my CRX.
