I think the bottom pic is the asean bumper actually.
But yeah the fogs in the top pic are mounted upside down. But who really installs fogs for the light output?
Not trying to tease, just trying to show that it CAN be done on a coupe.

function over fashion, i installed the fogs for light output because there are deer everywhere were i live. having fog lights makes a big difference in spotting one of those fuckers jumping out of the woods and into the road.

So here's a question...i've been talking to my friend Shaun and he gave me a crazy idea...I'm sure this would be expensive, but since I was planning on replacing the hood, the two fenders, the bumper and the lights, would it be possible to do a front end sedan conversion? To get the cool fogs without the misalignment and the gaps? You guys probably already covered this somewhere lol......

yea, easy conversion, may be wrong but the only thing you would need is the bumper and a new grill.

There's a gap under the headlights with a sedan bumper on the coupe, If the full conversion would solve that issue I would consider....

Take a look at Thien's coupe. It has gaps and the conversion you're asking about.

I believe there are some compromises, and Thien should be able to tell you what those are.
What would be awesome, and would definitely be stepping up the game, is to take the shortfalls of what doesn't quite fit when putting the ASEAN sedan front bumper on a USDM coupe and modify the bumper to make it fit like stock; i.e. make it so any visible gaps aren't there anymore, make it so that mounting holes line up properly, etc..

Well it started with drooling over fog lights that I can't have, and then I was thinking crazy ideas like heating up the plastic on my current bumper (not painted yet) around the lights, to mold it to fit...and I talked to my friend who was like, "why not just convert the whole front to a sedan?" I thought this was crazy, and I read how some people came close...I was wondering if it was worth it, if it could be done, and fit perfect somehow....sorry...I don't want to beat a dead horse...lol

It will fit , I think the only issue with the sedan bumpers on the coupe is just the area by the grill and headlights might not line up 100%. which can be modified anyways
