Yaris/Echo front swap 2000-2005 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can't speak for the 1st Gen Yaris but I can say that the 2nd Gen Yaris Hatch has a different radiator support than the sedan. With that in mind I would assume you would need everything. Although, I don't think the parts will swap over that easily without some modification. An Acura EL is essentially a luxury Civic, while the Yaris Coupe and Hatch are fairly different.

Maybe try heading to a junkyard and see if you can find both a 1st gen hatch and coupe and do some measuring? Would be interesting to see how this turns out if you give it a try. Good luck!

purely aesthetic + there is more... aftermarket alternatives for HATCH models headlights and lips than the SEDAN one

Ah, I see. Very cool. Looking forward to whichever transformations you complete.
