Nope, bolts right up. Zero mods. cept maybe trim the skeleton of the hood for the hump where the 8gvr4 traction control actuator is.
Hey, for you 7g guys with jdm vr4 strut bars, did you guys have to modify the mounting point of the strut bar to make it fit?
I was hoping it would just bolt onto my 2g but it seems like the strut towers are slightly shorter on the 2gs and I would need to cut the extra metal that mounts to the upper ball joint.

the battery tie down is easy to modify. I was going to cut off the bolt for the battery tie down and use a more traditional tie down.
qnz I tried to fit mine on the 2g (this was several years ago of course) and the hood won't close with the vr4 strut bar.
Reggie, did you cut the rear part off, that attaches to the upper ball joint?
No cutting what so ever on the mounting tower brackets for the bar as everything bolts perfectly on the 7g. I am assuming the rear part you are talking about is the part where the upper control arm bolts to the strut tower apron? If so...didn't have to cut that either, bolts right up on the 7g.

Thanks for the info Kev.
Ive been saying upper ball joint, but I meant upper control arm.
No problem Aaron...if you need pics, I can also provide them. But you get the jist of it.

I didn't have to cut anything. The bar itself just won't fit.
