s15 install

not a very good how to, but jus some quickpics i snaped along the way. The radiator support needs to be cut like so, to fit the s15 headlights.

i highly recomend using the JDM s15 top reinforcment bar to mount the bumper. The reinforcment bar bolts up to the inside of the headlights and on the sides. NOTE the fenders are not bolted up yet, they're jus sitting there.

yes, you HAVE TO remove the front bumper support to mount a FMIC. The mount for the IC actually goes on the mount where the hood latch is.

It took about six-eight hours, i could have gone faster but i kept tripple checking the fittment. It was like measure ten times then install once. The hood is brand new, what makes u think it's used?

the hood ledge also had to be filed down to close the s15 hood properly.
