thats odd.

"unlike what most people tell you, the rad support is not the magic fix for this install. most rad supports come with an EF8 kit, but its not shaped any different than the USDM. the only difference is the hole for where the OEM intake went."

It will NOT fit with the oem hood, the gaps will be outrageous and you cannot fix them

try it if you like

Ive seen 2 locals try with 2 different bumpers, both were disasters, one opted and completed his front end with jdm parts (including rad support) and the other modified the **** out of the bumper and it now semi lines up and has some nice sweet wrinkles

use a non dohc ef with si-r style front support . i:e; style sII

in the past ive used the jdm si-r support, and drilled the hood part of the mechanism so it will latch.

heres the factory usdm , same exact physical equivalent as far as hole for the latch. modified to work.




heres the part you need to have it bolt up factory style. no need to fuss with the hood mechanism .

I just recently installed my new front end and used the us rad support(i had the sir one too but like everyone says its the same)....i just used about 1in of washers on the 4 outside bolts to move the support forward to line up with the hood latch assembly(also leave the bottom bolt for the t part of the rad support unbolted)....it was a bitch to get it all aligned but it fits great with no gaps(i am running the jdm bumper support which helps alot)...sorry i only have some shittty pics but here ya go...good luck
