That looks so clean that it needs a side by side picture with the exhaust cut-out still present to give a full appreciation of the work.

That thing is tweeked beyond all belief. I ended up buying a new one from Nissan. They are only like 70.00, so it was worth it to save the time, because I couold have straightened the original out but it would not have been perfect.

The bumper reinforcement had to be removed in order to make all this fit, but so fatr fitiment has worked out well.

I will have to check the dimensions and see if I can get it through postal. The Bumper reinforcement was sold a while back, but I will let you know if I find another one.

Build updates will be coming soon as it comes out of paint and other stages start coming together.

I looked at two holes on the tension rod brackets and at the same time I had some SPL diff bushings, so I figured why not shave them down and use them as bushings.

I would venture to say that if you are putting electricity through your radiator, you might be doing something wrong. Also, I will be putting a small rubber insulation pad between the bushing and the bracket once I get done painting it all and start putting it back together (I stated this in a previous post). Aluminum is a shitty conductor anyways, so it is almost a moot point.

If you would be so kind as to explain why you think this is relevant to my project, I would like to see what you have to say.
