do coupes and sedans use the same hood?

i'm wondering if a coupe hood fits the sedans...

i'm talking about the 2001-2003 civics...

also, does a coupe grille fit the sedan too? (i know the coupe grille looks a bit different)

anyone know roughly how much it costs to get a hood replaced and painted? just looking for rough numbers....this is not for me...and pls dont suggest carbon fiber.

Yes they have the same hoods except for the molding

The grills are interchagable with some small modifications.

Um that I don't know. I know that others have swapped grills but I don't know what is involved in doing so.

hood fits perfect...i have a CF hood from a coupe on my sedan, and it fits just like the OEM hood...no gaps between hood and fenders or anything like that...don't know about the grille though...

The radiator cover is supposed to be different on a sedan and a coupe.
That's why many coupe owners who buy "altezza style" want a sedan radiator cover for correct firment.
The radiator cover is the black piece that connects to the grill.

what's the difference? i have the entire coupe grille/radiator cover assembly...will the entire thing bolt right onto a sedan without any modifications?

Yes it will.

The pictures show what I was trying to say.
The covers are not interchangeable between coupe/sedan grill but the whole assembly will fit either models.

I see, so if you get the grill but swap the black pieces (radiator covers) then it should work.

check my posts.. i did a full DIY on the coupe to sedan grille swap.. but yeah.. basicly the sedan radiator cover does not fit the coupe grille due to the lack of a top piece.. however you dont need it cuz it looks fine without it
