[Zach-R]

93 bumper fit a 91 4dr? i know it will but do i have to change anything, such as grill, headlights, fenders?. i need a new bumper before i paint it, so was wondering cause 93 looks so much better.

You will need to change the Bumper support. You dont have to change the fenders, headlights, or the grill for that matter. But it would look nicer If you DID change the headlights and all.


Offtopic: what state are you from?

[mondojackal]

if you swap the front, swap the rear too, the side profiles of the 90-91s are more squarish than the 92-93s

What would I have to change?

I was wanting to change my front and rear bumpers on my '91 Honda Accord Lx. I was thinking of adding 92-93 Ex bumpers, would I have to change anything for the rear bumper as far as bumper support, reinforcement, or absorber. I talked to my Honda Technician today and he informed me that for the front bumper I would have to change the front bumper support, is this true? Also, will in need an 92-93 grill, because I have JDM 1-piece headlights that I will be adding also.

[shawn.hayden]

[J-specCb4]

supports are the same, the covers are what were different... if you swap just the 9293 bumper on, youll get gaps along the fronts of the headlights, and the lower edge of the grille will be hidden behind the raised lip on the bumper cover.

heres a picture of my old car, 9293 bumper with 9091 headlights, but 9293 grille. notice the gap between the lower edge of the headlights and the bumper? this is with the headlights pulled as far forward as possible, youll probably get an even bigger gap. notice the crappy grille fitment. the only things i suggest you definately match with each other are headlights and the grille... if you get 9293 headlights, get the 9293 grille too. (see next picture below)

heres a picture of 92coupe's old car. since the grille is painted black, its hard to tell, but you can see how the 9091 headlights and 9091 grille are set back a bit and go behind the lip on the bumper. notice how much better the 9091 grille fits between the 9091 headlights.

so sure itll fit, and since you have 9091 headlights and their grille, itll look fine if you dont mind the slight "imperfection."

exactly... 90-91 used "flat" headlights and grill. 92-93 used "curved" headlights and grill. Imagine only changing one headlight, the grill, and the bumper from 92-93 (my accident ) to 90-91 parts. It'll all fit, it just won't like up if you mix and match parts. note the headlight in my sig, (the pic on left) 92-93 headlight 90-91 grill.
