I think the front end will look good when it's fully painted. You should just leave it on.

i probably will. i'm just weighing my options right now. the right fender is cracked at the weld and i'm going to check with my friend and see how much he would charge me to re-do the fenders right (use full ek fenders and mod them to fit the door). also, the core support needs to be moved forward about 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch because everything doesn't line up perfectly...

Is that how you're supposed to do the front end conversion?
