i recently got into a accident and it seemed very minor but, now i'm seeing that my hood won't line up because the frame has moved.

how much was it all together to get your core support bought and on?


The core support cost me $40 from a local junkyard and had my boss at my work take the old one off and put the new one on for cheap compared to what a body shop would want. Remember this is a critical part if you get in a accident so dont go a cheap way of replacing it.

I like the green also but it was put on half-assed and this car's title says white along with the engine bay being white. Within the next month or 2 it will be painted white.

- Mon Mar 26, 2012 8:36 pm #299889 sooo, were you required to use the hatch core support? or will the coupe do just as fine?

I used one off of a sedan and everything lined up perfect. From what i understand the only difference between hatch/coupe and sedans are the sedan front ends are a little shorter or vise-verse cant remember but seeing as your just using the support itself connecting passenger side to driver side, it shouldn't matter what one you use.

- Tue Mar 27, 2012 11:22 pm #300049 Painted the white hood black to match the fenders and bumper a little better just for the coming weeks until paint. This "replacement bumper sags around the headlights so im going to get a OEM one before paint.

I thought about getting some EK skirts... I might have copy you! :thumb:


Im sure you know but for ek's to fit on eg's they require the front to be trimmed down in which case youll need mud flaps unless you want a cut off side skirt just chillin..your choice :lol:

I had a set on my sedan, theres pictures on here somewhere but this was my old car

Notice the rims? Same ones that are on my hatch :thumb:
That sedan is currently being k-swapped by my friend. Today the shift linkage was installed, once the ECU arrives that thing is running.

Tuesday going to pick up my new header, test pipe, 2.5 inch cat back to a stock muffler :thumb:
Also met a guy with a ex/si tranny along with a adjustable cam gear so my mini-me swap wont be a tooth off :woot:
Going to get a set of Tokico Blue shocks all around after the above it complete.


Once all of that is complete I will worry about the paint.
