Just started installing my JDM front end. This isn't really hard but its really time consuming.

Taking off the OEM radiator support was the hardest part. This alone took me about 2 hours.





Had to do a little cutting here and there for the headlights to fit but other then that this isn't very difficult to do yourself.

Thanks to the guys at inlinePRO for helping me weld.

 

I spy a snail!

Installation looks good so far. post some completed pics.

 

hehe, I'll get them asap.

 

Good to see you have the skills to do it

 

damn 2 hours? that sucks, their's a tool my dad use to remove sheet metal off the cars. it took my dad about 20mins to replace my friends 240sx radiator support heh, removel and welding..
nice work so far.

 

Which bumper extention are you gonna use the JDM or USDM one?

 

Lookin good. Keep it up. Don't forget to post completed pics!

 

cant wait to see it when its finished..

i wish i had the DIY skills.

 

damn that looks like a whole gang of work

 

mmmm....turbo

 

please post pics when you're done

 

I bolted all up today, lining it all up is a bitch. I have pics buy my cable modem is down right now. I will get them up asap.

 

well if you weld the raidiator support up right, all the bolt up should line up perfect..

 

Here are some pics of the finished product. The hood is jacked up but I used it to line everything up. Keep in mind that everything is held on by one or two bolts, this is just temporary because I'm getting the whole car painted a different color.





I have never done this before so this is kind of an example of how relatively easy this front end is to put on.

 

how long did this take you to complete?, and how many ppl helping you, im going to get this done in 2 weeks need all the advice i can get

 

Hey I am planning on putting the JDM cwest front on myself too. Can you tell me where/how the bumper is supported? Pics would be helpful. thanks

I did this installation mostly by myself. This installation would be easier if you did it with a friend because most parts are big and need 2 people to handle. Other then that a person with welding experience is also recommended. This installation took me a total of 2 days.

 

Awww, don't paint it a different color. Stick with the white. White JDM front end integra's are badass in my opinion. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to put that on my turbo LS.

 

Very nice end result.

 

that's freakin nice tommy

 

is that a c-west front bumper? niiiice car

 

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes it is the Cwest front bumper for the JDM front end. PM me if you have any questions about this install, I would be glad to help.

 

Not bad for doing it yourself! Nice!

 

nice.. how much does something like this cost?

 

good **** dude . me and my bro-in-law took off my radiator support nightmare . turned out good you going to get the whole c-west kit ? shave the moldings ? wat color ?
