I tried on a coupe, good luck, it was waaayyyy to short, what happened was that in order to get the wheel well to line up we had to remove the bumper support, then there was no where to mount the bumper to, plus by this piont there was a good deal of dead air between the headlights and the bumper so it just looked bad, so I gave up and just did the lip, looks decent, would look better all molded with the molding removed, but honestly, go try it out again, if you pull it off maybe Ill try mine again

Good luck and please try
Nick

nice wing for a front wheel drive car
now if that car was awd or rwd then it would look right but that wing is just out of place

IMO that wing could almost NEVER look right, but that g1 in the pic looked real nice (minus the wing) that body kit really updates the look of the car as well as the g2 badges the person threw on.

It's possible to fit the accord bumpers on, but you'll have to do what that guy did on the cardomain site... cut the ends, and extend them a few inches to reach the wheel well. That way, you can still use the bumper reinforcement underneath (you'll still need to trim the ends of the reinforcement a bit). The flare on the bumper that meets up with the fender has to grinded down and flattened to match the legend's fender flares too. And build up the top part of the bumper too to meet the headlights. If you don't want to cut the bumper up, you'll have what legend master has where the bumper is almost completly flushed w/ the headlights.
I installed a street fighter front end on my old 88 legend coupe too and the bumper had to be hacked up pretty good and the fit still wasn't the greatest.
