Hi

i recently had the pleasure of some clown driving into my little honda while i slept and he totaled the front of her :-( I've sourced new parts from the scrappy but theres damage to the front panel on the drivers side where he hit it head on, he's bent it and I'm going to replace it. now for the questions.

Does it need to be welded on? or is it just bolted on?

thanks for your time and have a pleasant day

yeah its a core support... weld it but if you do it wrong your gaps,head lamps, fenders and all that wont fit right so make sure everything is going to fit right first

x2 i would have someone that know what they are doing put it in. not fun if you put it in and the gaps are all off and nothing lines up. not fun to pull it back off after its welded on.
