I have a tech one kit and I'm hoping to put it on a touring. Can anyone who has done this tell me what to the main issues are.

Will I need to change the front valance and the the bumpers for prefacelift ones?

I think the valance will need changing, contact 'Nelly' or 'zaust' as they have both done this conversion

Yes you do need to change the front valance. + you need to weald on the towing bracket (so remember to take one off the donner car and the extension's.) For the rear you need to get the angle grinder out and keep the wealder at hand.

So it's a pretty big job. I'll start the search for a front valance. I have a touring that could do with a lick of paint so why not butcher it first.
