97 front end

[gatonmy3]

my car needs a new radiator support annyway, trying to save money wondering if i can go with a 95 radiator support and use a 95 bumper support to instal everything from a 97 maybe getting away with drilling a few holes. my bumper has to be custom fitted anyway so it shouldnt matter what bumper support i use, the only thing its there for shoud be the bumper. if anyone has any info on the correct method let me know.

'Correct way' would be to use '97-'98 rad core support. The '95-'96 will work, like you said, with a few new holes drilled.

Before you spend money on a bumper beam/re-bar assy, make sure your aftermarket bumper fits it! You have a '97-'98 bumper already? The '95-'96 won't fit '97-'98 headlamps or fenders properly.

Many of the fiberglass bumpers are JDM-spec, thus not designed around our US-spec beam. I wanted to have some crash protection, so I did use the US-spec beam (but no foam support). My Veilside bumper did not fit the beam, so I painstakingly cut the bumper (from behind) to fit the US-spec beam. I also mod'd the beam at the ends to clear the ts lamps. LOTS of work <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> , but turned out sweet! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'> Hope that helps!

Hey yenpit update your page man you show the car with bits and pieces of the kit on the car.I want a pic with the final outcome or are you still working on it.Also the 95-96 frame will work 100% no redrilling holes or nothing just wireing the headlights is the only modifacation needed.s14vaxlr8 did the conversion and he onlt had that problem.As far as everything else well fenders,hood,bumper,foam support,headlights,and some misc clips are the only thing that has to be replaced.
