Transplant Hybrid Civic front end onto a Coupe?
I was looking at the front end of that new hybrid civic today. It's a good looking front cover. It even has the grill built-in, not separate like in the regular civic.
So I'm wondering...how difficult could it be to fit one of these onto a regular civic. Specifically on the coupe...since the hybrid appears to be sedan-only. (I could be wrong here). Looks like you could just swap it out with the stock cover and grill. I'm guessing that the biggest problem would be if the fasteners didn't line-up with the ones that hold the stock bumper cover on.
What do you guys think? More hassle than it's worth? How expensive could the cover be? I was considering getting the OEM front spoiler anyway. Plus, my bumper's paint is cracked from hitting a d@mn dog [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG], so it's gonna have to be painted soon anyway.

I was thinking the same thing getting the hybrid front bumper but for everything its like 750, u can get a kit for that price, and if the bumper fits the sedan then it should fit the coupe since they are interchangable when u buy aftermarket kits
