I am planning or purchasing a regulus front vented nose from ebay and wanted to ask those who already have a replica of the regulus nose if anything needed to be modified. i ask this b/c when i asked this to the seller, he replied
"This part will bolt straight into the factory holes but you will have to modify the USDM radiator core support to allow the vents to flow through. Or you can use the JDM core support and it should bolt straight up. Please le me know if you have any more questions." and i was wondering if this was in fact true and if so how i go about it. I was planning to do this myself but im not sure if i still can. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have one of these I picked up in CF/FG last year, and came to the conclusion the holes in them are probably pointless. Even if you were to cut holes into the radiator support, you still have your radiator right in the way. Not the fins, but the upper TANK of the radiator is right there... not sure the holes on this thing do any good, I was just going for the full CF front end on mine. Still sitting on the floor in the car-parts room, so I can't really give you any info on fitment. Been years since I've removed a nose panel to be honest...
