Help - how much work needed to fit coupe radiator cooling plate / air diversion panel
I have a friend abroad who is giving me his coupe radiator / air diversion plate but I need to know if it is physically possible to fit this plate onto a sedan? I understand some modification to the plate is needed but how much?

I had to trim up the ARC air diversion panel to make it fit. Not 100% sure if this applies to all other brands or not. Chris is correct, I had to basically trim around where the hood latch is and some off of my OEM grille. Tim has also done this same mod.
Some pics to illustrate
This is what it will look like after you're done the trimming to the panel.
You will also need to remove/trim some long tabs on the underside of the OEM grille. I don't know if this is 03/04 specific. Also, if you have one of the Unlimited Tuning grilles (or ebay style), there is no need to do this.
There are about 4 of these tabs on the underside. Remove them all
