That's not really the throttle body bypass mod. All we did was remove the metal coolant router which was contacting the air line.
Search for JTso's throttle body bypass to get the real deal. I've hesitated to do it to my car becuase of the cold temperatures of DC winters, but Xizor has had it for (2?) winters now with no problems, so its probably safe. Its easy to do, just need like 1 piece of hardware from home depot. Get it and bring it to the BBQ...?
BTW, I'm gonna bring some small projects to the BBQ on Saturday. I've bought parts for an oil catch can. Gotta find something else fun to do too.

I personally think they can with just the purchase of the kit and new radiator cover. I mean really there is no way they changed the frame at all.
As for swapping, I think you'll need the front fenders, lights, bumper, and hood to pull it off. I think the dimensions of the lights are slightly different so you'll end up with things not fitting just right if you went with just the bumper and radiator cover.

I know we didn't have to take the front bumper off I was just showing him how to do it so next time he'll know how. If he does get the JDM headlight he'll diff need to take the front bumper off
