R u sure about the radiator supports because my girlfriend has an ek and I've hade both r noses off and they look the same... actually hers was smashed and I used the style of mine to bed it back... I've heard that I need to weld the fenders but that's what I didn't want to do lol... body work sucks

If you want the fenders and doors to look right together, you have to take the EK fenders and del Sol fenders and cut them in exactly the right places and then weld them together in exactly the right place. Otherwise you'll end up with the body line on the doors not continuing to the fenders like they are suppose to.
