Does anyone know if a JDM fender will fit on a US model? If there is a difference what is the difference in parts that i will need. I am trying to get a gt4 model bumper from a facelift model to fit onto a preface lift. Oh! and does a preface lift model and face lift model make a difference?

I believe the only difference is the side marker/light locations. That's the only mod you'll need to do. Other than that. Its interchangeable.

Assuming that it is from a hatch to another hatch, it should.
If from a vert to hatch or a coupe, it isn't. Correct me if I'm wrong. -------------------- God made man....

The coupe and liftback are identical from the doors forward. Fenders are a direct swap regardless of market, body, or progression of the 6GC. Though with just doing the bumper of the GT-4 you'll have the inverse problem of those that just install the GT-4 hood.

Fenders on a vert were different. Coupe and liftback are the same. Hoods stayed the same throughout all the model years. Pre- and post-facelift bumpers are interchangeable, apart from the fog lights in the facelift bumper.

If you want it to be true JDM side markers, you have to splice into the turn signals cause that's what they actually are overseas; turn signals, not side markers |
