Default Putting on EK front end

What is the proper way to install the front end (fenders, headlights, etc) to minimaze the gaps in the body? What do you start with?

Changing the core support to that of a 99-00 would make the change perfect

Uh...
Answer these questions
What front end are you putting on? 96-98 or 99-00
What car are you putting it on? 96-98 or 99-00?

If it's not an EK, it's not OKAY just call it a 6th gen or what year it is.

So would modifying the 98-98 bumper mount. I did my friends conversion. It lines up like stock, and we kept the 98 core support.

You don't need to swap the coresupport. Nor will it help anything line up better. Assuming you take the time to line things up correctly before you cut the new hole. Sadily, a lot of people are too lazy to do this and just drill the hole.

No clue. EK4 conversion on a Grand National, probably.

Could be putting a 99 front end on a DA for all we know.

Exactly... which is why the first few posts were confusing me.
