Default [ITR]front end conversion?

Hey guys, I just got a 94 Integra coupe due to my eg getting nailed by a mustang. Ive decided I am not going to build a motor for the car, just roll with my stock LS and b16 tanny. I plan to just build the motor for my supra. But I do want my integra to look right. Ive been looking at the front end conversions ever since my bf mentioned it to me. Theyre pricey but the saying goes "you gotta pay to play" On the radiator core support and bumper support do those simply bolt up or do they have to be welded in place? I havent had to take the front bumper off my car yet so therefore I havent had a chance to look. Can anyone shed some light on this?

^ thats what i had to do, not that expensive, if your BF can weld he might as well do it for you, here is what my looked like after the install and new paint, all together for me it averaged about $4000 with full paint, $3000-3500 would be enough depending on who paints the front end for you.

a friend i grew up racing with does welding for a living so that no problem what so ever. AND ive got a good friend that is an amazing painter, its a shame he works for napa instead of having his own shop. im thinkin im just gonna buy the used kit. but should i go on and spend the 3500 for the new kit with the carbon hood and lip? i think i can come out cheaper just buying the hood and lip later on.

also, i can weld better than my bf, which isnt saying much at all :hsdunno: poor thing
