I want opinions on how the silvia front end should be put together on the car.

hood first, then fenders, bumper, lights? Anyone who's done it help soon pls.

I imagine it would be easiest to do lights or fenders first, then the other, then bumper, then hood.

Bumper and fenders should bolt together, put those on at the same time (slide it over the front)put the lights and grill on, then the hood....

(btw, I haven't put together a silvia front end...I've done an R32 front end and this is the order I put it all together.)

Thank you very much. I knew they bolted together, but i got sent the front bumper support on the bumper, so it looks like i have to either pull that off and install seperately or what, im no friggin genius... trial and error...:0

ok, without the support, you must do fenders then bumper, then grill/lights, then hood.it's hard to get it lined up without the bumper support in it when doing it all as one large piece.
