The hatch/coupe front bumper will bolt on, but the sides won't have a very clean look to them. You may need to use bolts/nuts to attach them to the fenders vice the single screw since it will take some effort to get the sides to mount. If I remember correctly, you will also need to use coupe corner lights. And you probaby won't like how it looks.

I did this to my old 95 sedan about 5-6 years ago, and ditched the coupe front bumper after having it on for about a day. I'll try to find old pics of it for you if you want to see how bad it looked.

If you want to get them to look "perfect", you'll need to cut and weld the coupe front fender halves onto the sedan rear fender halves.

Your best bet is just to get a new sedan front bumper and throw a clean front spoiler/lip on it.
