PAPZ did you get urs done? i think if you get the front bumper support from a 99-00 also woulbe heaps easier and you can keep ur foam :thumbsup: i'll be doing mine sometime this week :D but u can go first and tell me what u did wrong ahahahhaha so i dont do the same :D grinder and dremel at the ready :p
papz/ i haev owned 2 ek's and facelifted BOTH of them. using 96-98 radiator supports. what questions do you have requiring answers for ?
zco can it be done with no cutting? i know i will lose the foam and have to grind the edges of the support but can i not but the mounting point as in the previous url i provided??? can i just drill the new mounting points and get it to fit perfectly?
yes. you dont have to cut the mounting tabs. BUT you have to modify your front bar. cut slits into hte front bar where the grill is.. you wont be able to see the cuts as the grill will cover it anyway. quickest and easiest way to fit your front bar.:thumbsup:
the slits you need to cut in your front bar are about this big _______ and you dont even see these cuts when the grill is on.. but thats upto you !
okay. just read that papz doesnt want to cut his front bar. well looks liek you're gonna have to order new support. 99-00 paint and weld. then pray that they fitted it straight or your fornt end is gonna look focked lol
if youdont cut your front end, and want to use the original radiator support, then you drill holes into the radiator support tabs, and you have to hacksaw the excess off so your bar can fit !
hope that helps
i havent started any cutting yet! hehe
regarding the foam! who cares! throw it in the bin! weight loss! lol
my car never had it so im not worried.
zco can u pm me ur contact number, easier to chat about it! =D
can i have BOTH of your numbers so i can call you incase i stuff it up? :p
