i jus bought my first dc and was lookin to do a jdm front end conversion, and most kits or packages that i look at come with that radiator support. when i replace this is it going to be able to bolt in or am im going to have to have it welded in?
thanks

to answer your question, yea you have to weld. just the rad support. everything else bolts in

 

All you really need is the the frame from the support and if you haven't bought your conversion yet, go to N1 concepts in SSF. $1500 complete (non-hid)

 

You will have to cut out the old radiator support and have the new one welded in. If you havent bought one yet search around. I bought mine from password jdm and was kinda let down. The only thing that was real TYPE R about it was the headlights (black housed). the vin badge on the rad. support was Sir DB8 (4 door sir) and it also says no dents bigger than a door ding and I had some good sized dents in mine along with the hood being in bad shape. I paid a little more for it buying it from password jdm thinking it was going to turn out better then it was.

 

you dont HAVE to bolt, but that is the best way to do it... you CAN do it weld-free with bolts, but it's really not a good idea... you can leave it temporarily bolted, but the core support is part of the fram=not the best idea... get it welded, but you can leave it bolted for a lil while

 

I bought my JDM conversion from Password JDM and was very happy with it. I got all Brand new OEM Honda Parts and a Vis CF hood. They were great to work with and i couldnt be happier with the results.

P.S Weld the Core supports, if you are gonna do something as big as a front end conversion dont skimp on anything.
