        Yea it's got to be for valences or something because those holes on the corner chrome bottom pieces are on my front bumper chrome side pieces too. they don't bolt into anything.

        Kronus, do you have a pic of how you installed your end cap trim pieces? Was it just that clip that holds them in or is there any screws involved?

          IIRC, there are screws that go into the endcaps from the outside of the rear fender. They're difficult to get to without having about three extra elbows.

              Looks like you need # 17 & 18 and/or maybe 25? I would hate to loose those end caps if they are not fastened down correctly.

                  Oh that's awesome, those are the screws left over that I had to spend about 30minutes getting off with the channel lock pliers and finally found out i had the correct socket after I had got them off

                    Looks good, I'd say she's ready for an engine swap sometime soon.

                    +1 on shaving those rear hinges. A Dremel, some POR 15, and about 20 minutes will really aid to the euroness of the car.

                      don't slam your car to the ground, just get the H&R sport springs you were thinking about. although with the M10 there is going to be a different stance than the M20 cars with that setup.

I know it sounds weird, but I love the look of the early alpinas and how they have the low front spoiler and the high rear end with the euro bumper and the trunk spoiler. It gives it that "light and sporty" look.
                                Your car has come a long way, looks great. This might change your mind on the tech1 kit
