Hey guys,

I know i can count on 6GC for this one. I have a 94 Celi and I bought a kit online. Now I read that 94 - 95 needs 404 kit and the 96+ uses 404a. If I got the 404a, is it possible to "make" it fit on my car? I guess what im trying to say is how are these two body types different?

Thanks

Here is the '94 and '95 front end:



And here is the '96+ front end:



As you can see, the two are quite different. You're much better off just buying the front lip that fits your car, or upgrading to the '96+ front end(which bolts right on) and then installing the 404a lip. >>

well technically the only difference is the turn signals. you can still buy a 95 front bumper and bolt up fine to a 99 but hte turn signals wont work. i think the reason erbuni made differnet kits was because of the turn signal issue. but ill tell you for sure when i buy it and test it out. >>

The turn signals are different, but remember, the 404 or 404a lip is just that, only a lip that adds on to the bottom of the bumper. >>

Also, the front bumpers are more different than just having different turn signals. If you look at that very bottom edge, you can see how on the newer bumpers, it bulges out where the posts come down. On the '94 and '95 bumpers, it's smooth in that area.

Also, you can see from the photos above that the number of posts, and post arrangement is very different. >>

Also, chaning turn signals is incredibly easy. Two screws and twisting in a new harness connector on each side is all that's required to do this. >>

Well, It will take a lot of work to make the 404a lip to fit on a 94-95 front. Just sell the lip and get the right lip for the car.

So techinically i could still use the skirts and the rear lip and then just put on a different front bumper?

i thought the reason why the 404 didn't fit the 94-5 celic what cause of the 5 posts on the front? if thats true why not just cut off the 5 post since they aern't used for support

my question is can i make the 96-99 front bumper fit on a 94-95??? that what i wanted to know because i love the 94-99 front bumper
