if it is bent where i am thinking then yes it is going to cause you to not have a properly aligned front end..

but like dumada9 said it shouldn't be too bad to fix.

i understand the debate between real and knockoff and i am on both sides of that debate. it just depends on what part we are talking about. until recently, i was more towards the who cares if its a knock off. but once i learned of trust (GReddy) filing for bankruptcy due to knock off's killing their sales, im more hesitant to buy a knock off over a part from a real deal company. but dont get me wrong, i'll still shop around for used parts to lower the cost. anywho, not that anyone really cares but thats just my .02

3-4 grand to turbo you car? thats why you piece together your own kit instead of buying one. plus that way you get the parts you want, not what you're given. i built a kit b4 for my old crx for under 600 and my friend has one now that pieced together for around the same amount. its all about just taking your time and buying a part here, a part there, just when you have the extra money or as you find a good deal. just make your mind for sure what you wanna do before you start buying parts for either all motor or for boost so you're not wasting money...

that is the best way to afford the stuff you want on a budget, like a kid in high school or someone in college. you dont have to buy everything at once, just take your time and get what you want, in the long run it is better and you learn how to budget out your money. haha

if you do plan on going all motor though, dont even buy cam gears for you ls head. you might as well spend the 350-400 for a b16 head and work w/ that, you'll be much happier w/ a built ls vtec than a built LS

Im so confused! You take out the headlight/signal and fog. Do you also take out the thing that the headlight and foglight bolt into? Like the housing? Idk if its called the bezel? Cuz Im gonna be mad if the 1pc's dont fit cuz the headlight got pushed back. Herb! pics would be a help. Thanks.
