One guy had a problem with his hood fitting and you have to realize how much wait that is in the front....if you dont have power steering its gunna be a fun time on those 3 pt turns. Ive been looking at it though and it seems highly possable and has been done.... _____________________________ DOHC ZC (dead) SOHC ZC FTW!• K&N CAI filter • 90 Integra LS rear disc conversion (in reply to ranom01) Post #: 3
