Not at all, just throw it at your car, and it will stay.

WTF?! are you guys serious? i really hope not, becuase if you were you have to be the most retarded people on here.

and if you are joking, please keep your jokes to yourself.

OP, you can have the radiator supprt welded on by a welder or a body shop.
you can also bolt it up yourself, which will save you money.
good luck!

Of course I'm serious. I did a JDM front end swap on my buddies 99 GS-R. We stood on the opposite side of the garage and got a running head start. We SLAMMED that **** on there hard enough to make it stay.

Ok.

Yes. You do need to weld the rad support in. If you want to bolt it in, go a head. It will save money, but I would want the assurance of knowing it's not going anywhere.

why would you even try to bolt it in? it is a sure thing that its gonna come lose in no time. i would do it the right way and weld it in that also make the car safe if you crash it its not to hard if you have a welder or even rent one, and know how to use it
