Awesome pic, thanks, this is very helpful...I can't take my fenders off the car....I had a body kit installed 2 years ago, and the guy bonded the sideskirts to the front fenders ( i can't do a wiretuck because of this also ) ... I can unbolt the fenders and move them slightly, but i don't wanna crack the bondo...When you drilled the spot welds, did the upper support just lift out easily or did you have to hack at it a bit? I can get at the spot welds no problem...

Here's a problem I just came across today. What are people doing about a tow hook with a 3 piece front?

I really like how you did your latch points with the Integra. Are you just using the stock mount holes, and plastic tabs, across the top core support? Is your bumper support connected to your traction bar?

those are the best pics I have... these four quick latches are the only thing holding the bumper on but they seem sturdy so far, it is no connected to the traction bar.

Used nutserts to attach the aero pan and catch pan and used quick latches to secure the front bumper. Synapse Motorsports did the fabrication.
