yes, you need to mod the fenders or the bumper,
or just deal with the gaps
if you search you can find multiple threads on it

actually pretty easy to do but youll need to swap some parts and modify others
parts youll need
2/3dr hood because 4dr are longer and will over hang
2/3dr bumper
2/3dr bumper support they are shorter for the 2/3dr bumper easier fitment than trying to wrap a 2/3dr bumper around the wider 4dr support
and ull need to modify the bolt holes from fender to bumper

my problem is sourcing these parts. im from South Africa where we never had the 2/3dr models.
also with above mentioned parts is it all basically "plug n play"

U should!! ud make a lot of ppl happy this side of the world. I had to import everything for my eg hatch since i cant find parts locally, like if i damage a corner light, or fender. it has to be imported, sux so bad
Id love some spares, spoon mirrors and stuff lol
Pricing on the hatch bumper is R1800. i had my bumper plastic welded, so a sedan bumper with the hatch center plastic welded in (if that makes sense) since i couldnt find 2/3dr fenders etc
