I DO BELIEVE FRONTS ARE THE SAME JUST THE BACKS ARE DIFF.

It's possible but it's not a "bolt-on" affair.

You are mistaken my friend. They are different. The EG front end is interchangable between coupes and hatches. The 4drs are completely different. (That may have come across like an ass but I don't mean is that way) U could fab it a little to fit but Its not going to be easy.

Im not sure on the rear. I never had to change them, but I would probably think it wouldn't either.

GL tho. For your sake I hope it does fit.

the entire front will bolt on but not just one part. hood fenders and bumper will need to be replaced.

When you are looking for an answer try doing research on a site bigger than this. Search and Search again. The search button is at the top of most sites and it is red.
Looks like this -->Search<--

Of corse I can't find it now but there is one posted on honda-tech. It is slate grey/blue color with 1piece tyc headlights and a typeR lip. Sedan front on a ej1. Looks great actually. (The fitment, I much prefer coupe fronts)

from the looks of what has been done as far as the swap goes, it can be done either way. it was posted as being bolt on

Yes, you can bolt on an EG coupe/hatch front bumper onto a sedan, but it will not fit perfectly.
