You don't need the support. All that needs to be done is cutting the tab by the grill and drilling your own hole.

 

this seems like a nice lil upgrade to the front end. Do you have a few pics of the the whole front ed, from the front and the side??

And to help with your problem, how big are the gaps between the door and fender?

Kinda looks like you can move the fender forward a few mm and then adjust the h/light back a few mm and that should get you close. Never had/seen this but thats what I can come up with.

Any1 else have input on this mod for my own curiousity???

 

Well, they don't look like they'd open up a gap between the headlights and the bumper if you brought them back about a 1/4". Why don't you just get a little creative? I'm not saying to do this if you have a problem with being "ghetto," but you could take the headlights out, and "adjust them" to fit the car's new contours.

I would suggest that you be a little more imaginative when it comes to a 1/4" distance. You may need to drill something.

EDIT: Upon closer inspection, it does look like your fenders could move forward the tiniest bit to line up properly with the bumper and hood.

 

Ya, thats what I was getting at too. Looks like the fender should come forward a bit.

 

i tried that
but a gap came between the door and the fender

 

Use your imagination, you'll come to a solution. Just make sure it ends up clean.

Like I said, you MAY have to end up cutting/drilling a little bit more, but it'll work out for you in the end if you do it right.
