Default What's involved labor wise in the SiR front?

Mine should be arriving shortly..i'm just wondering how difficult it's going to be to get on....what all is involved in it? welding, cutting? or is it for the most part a bolt on affair?

that's what i was hoping. How hard is the radiator support? i was under the assumption that that part is welded on....but it's all bolted on? BTW, man thanks for all your help Marty!..i think you've answered all of my questions today!! Thanks for the fast responses

oh, one more thing....the bumper support (reinforcement) stays the same, right? cuz i'm going to go ahead and mount my tow hook to it if it is, if not...i'll wait for the SiR to come in.

the sir headlights are separate from the corner lights...only the 4 doors are one piece all the way around...and the bumper supports are different, unless you can find a long bolt--even then i wouldn't suggest you do it. just use the jdm bumper supports that come with your front end...you might also want to swap the usdm side bumper screws (the ones near your front tires) for the jdm ones in order for the screws to go in easily

ok....sure....one piece headlights...right...now i'll admit, i was wrong about the bumper support coz i was thinking about the actual thing that holds the bumper onto the car...but the one piece headlight thing has got to be incorrect...wheres the proof that the SiR's came with one piece?

corner lenses are separate from the headlamp.

Well everything is a on. The only difference of the lights are they are a little longer. I have to install mine. I'm too lazy. **** I'm so lazy my jdm rear bumper is on top of the car and the jdm wing is in the car. I need to stop being lazy. **** what i really need is a jdm sir hood. My front end didn't come with one because i guess the previous owner got rid of it. **** i can't beat the deal i got on my front though. I traded a free set of 89 si doors they gave me and $300 for the front end.
