I think you might have to change the radiator support or upper bumper support. It might be called a core support. I don't know whether or not the bumper reinforcement will work. Maybe it might. You might need the bumper absorber too. On the celica the head lights and high beams bolt to the upper radiator support or upper bumper support. You might have to see if curren headlights will bolt up to it. I'm sure it shouldn't be that hard. But if you're set on doing it then buy the parts. There is one on ebay or was. I have a lot of friends in Japan so i'm trying to get a parts catalog for the curren. When I do i'll post up the part numbers and the necessary parts.

if you google Curren you'll find a site that sells a lot of curren parts, i'm guessing if you get EVERY part they sell you have all needed to convert.
so ^ is right
you do need the core support along w/ body panels.

well all that support is gonna be a pain in the a$$ because everything is spot welded. I have a hard enough time with fixing the supports on my stock 94 celica.

I would think that the core support consists of several different parts that are bolt on. In my parts catalog for celicas, the core support is all bolt on. I could be wrong though. Maybe they do spot weld also. Did you ever get into a front collision before?

I'd imagine that the conversion is similar to putting a JDM front end on a USDM DC2 Integra. You might want to look at some of those how-tos to get an idea of what they have to do.
