    Coupes look awesome with the pre-facelift front fascia!

    I still like the facelift fascia better, though.

    I would have to disagree here. The pre facelift looks too cheap and plain. Im swapping my hatch to the facelift 1st chance i find a good white donor

    what makes the front look good is to make a real grill for it, and if you can get ahold of them, get the euro spec turn signals, they have both a parking lamp and a turn signal. they only fit the 87-87 bumpers and hatch bumpers though.

    Picture(s), por favor.

    ...

    I just thought it looked cool because I've never seen one before (even though the headlight and hood trim is facelifted).

    So this is like a late-87 car? Did they actually start making coupes in 87?

    the paint on the bumper. the grey colour makes the facelift look less cheap and old and boring

    the lip makes it look so much better

    yea on the hatchbacks they look best white with black trim, at least in my opinion.

    I'm pretty sure it is, because even though the coupe was available in '87, it was still an '88 model. That car was probably in a fender-bender and needed the bumper and corner lights.

    That lip is WAY too big and ruins the look of the whole car, in my honest opinion.

    their are half sized lips also but they dont have "honda" written on it. either way lips make facelift look better. also clear indicators are a must.

    In 88-89 the hatch has the pre facelift bumper with the facelift corners/eyebrows/grille.

    So chrome grille or not? I can't decide for my own hatch.

    If you mean the chrome strip at the top of the grille like in your signature (oem) then yes. The DX (at least mine, which was straight from factory) has a black rubber cover on the chrome strip. Just grab hold of it and yank, then viola you have chrome. Woohoo.

    Yes, regarding the prefacelift bumper with facelift grille, eyelids, and corners... ...that my friend is the BEST combo if I don't say so myself. I do really like the facelift bumper thought too.
