I have a Silvia front end, I removed my bumper suppourt bar and right below the headlights sags a little bit, but I used zip ties to keep the slack tight.

Today i have used a torch to remove the itty bitty parts off the main bumper now it has clearance for the intercooler. I'm using a blitz intercooler LM. Everything so far is good other then the headlights.. the intercooler is in the way! so ima have to wait til i get the s15 conversion. I hope I dont have a problem with the conversion
