Concerning my upcoming project...?

Trying to decide what model car to go with is a pain, I'm telling ya... part of me really wants to build up a hatch, and the another part of me really wants to build up a hatch.
I already know what all can be done to a hatch and how easily... but I have a few questions reguarding Sedans.
First being what exactly does it take to fit body parts normally only made for hatchbacks and CRX's to fit on a Sedan... things such as front and rear bumpers and side skirts. And then what about headlights? Nobody makes projector headlights for Sedans, so what is the major difference between the hatchback headlights and Sedan headlights?
Is there anything different in the engine compartment that will dictate my choice of engines? (Although I'm probably going with the B20)

Any other special notes, or concerns that I should take into consideration, please list all you can think of.
Also any other interchangable parts you can think of.

Thanks everyone in advance for any help.

Woohaa! Hooray for Hatches...

Seems like you've at least narrowed it down. :bigthumb:

killa what are you doing with the rex? you gonna keep it, cuz i love your car bro.

Yes, I have narrowed it down... Don't get me wrong, CRX being my first car and all, I love them... but I really like having a back seat these days.

Oh, another idea I had this morning before work... what would yall think about having speaker pods of some sort in the upper front corners of the roof? perhaps large enough to hold a 5 1/4 speaker and a tweeter? I'm so hopeless.. trying to come up with a sound system set up already lol. :loser:

well, 4G4DStore fit a buddy club HB front bumper onto his sedan, and basically you have to extend the sides by the fenders about 2" longer, and his kit was fiberglass, and he did it himself, his first time fiberglassing anything, and it turned out fine.. could have used one more layer though... as far as side skirts and rear bumper he bought the Extreme set that already fit the sedan...

Nick (4G4DStore) has told me that the CRX projectors fit the sedan... never confirmed it myself however...

Haven't had the rex in forever, bro. Sold it waaaaay back in 2001 and bought an old 91 Accord coupe... fixed it up and had an H22 4th gen accord for a while... then sold it and got my current 98 Civic with the intention to fix it up too... but too late I decided that I just wasn't meant to. I keep turning my eyes back to 4th gens.

www.NOPI.com has LOTS of goodies for 4 doors, hoods, body kits, intakes, exhaust.....blah blah blah. check them out.

i think my second favorite honda swap after a b series in a 4th gen sedan is a H series into a 90 - 93 accord...

Yeah, at the time I was thinking I needed to get something bigger so I could have some friends chill with me, cause I was getting tired of just following everybody everywhere or just taking one friend with me (cause I will not go places in other peoples cars).... so I sold it and moved on up...

Nick ( 4g4dStore ) also sells fenders for 4g4d's that are meant for sedans too.. and theres a couple body kits out there made for our car. Like at Nopi, earlier mentioned.. the kits dont look too aftermarket-y.. but some pix i've seen w/a paint job on it , it doesnt look half bad.
So our car has :
Fenders
bodykits
Hoods ==== couple i've seen
projectors
and of course universal items
:bigthumb:

killa do you have any pics of the outside, i really like the paint job you did.

headlamps from crx,hb,sedan are the same just years are the diff 88-89 are diff from 90-91. I confirm this cause they have the same Part # and I fit the ones from a hb at a wrecking yard on my CRX.

All my pics of my previous cars were on my old computer, which the hard drive unfortunately crashed many months ago... leave it to me not to back my shit up too... my old computer was 6 years old, so I should have thought ahead of time.
I'll check with my friends though and see if they still have any floating around on their hard drive.

I can tell you though, car had the full WingsWest kit on it, ViSracing carbon fiber hood... white with white and black tweed interior.

damn i wanna do my interior like that too, it looked so nice, how much did it cost you?

Well, I got a lot of work done for free because my grandfather's a former mechanic... so he had lots of connections, and everything was done at very little over cost... at the moment the price of the interior escapes me... and the paint job was free, provided I sand down the car and prep it for painting... the paint was just plain old General Motors basic white paint that they use on most of their trucks (cause my grandfather had some handy)... so see I made out pretty good.


With this next project though, my grandfather's complaining about being too old to do any work anymore lol. So I'm going to be LEARNING to do ALL of it myself... him and my dad are going to teach me everything they know... including paint and body stuff.
My next interior is going to be blue and white seude (spelling?)... blue carpetting... and I'm going to try and do a customized white headliner in white suede with blue inlays.
Oh I've got so many plans... I just know yall would get tired of reading everything though so I'll stop here.

when you get good with all that stuff, imma have to fly u upto NY so you can do my REX :)
