Has anyone used or heard anything good about these following pieces? I'm considering getting them all unless they have a bad reputation.

Radiator Core support.

Aprons with no holes.

Frame repair kit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is for the engine bay.

Yep those are for the front rails. Never heard anything bad about LMR.

After reading up on the parts included in the front rail kits, I guess I'll have to get sway bar mounts as well.

Any thoughts on the sway bar mount reinforcements? Worth doing while I'm at it?

You're already doing a bit a metal work, why nto take care of it while you're in there ya know? Probably overkill, but that never hurt anything.

I have a nice 90 front clip, you should come look at it.

Is it just the fender extensions that are different between 90 and 91 or is it the fender itself? I'd like to put the saleen kit on but from what I've seen that's just an addition to the LX bumper cover. I haven't seen any full covers.

Im refering to the inner structure, I have a nice front frame structure from a 90.

You really should go look at what lou had at his shop. You would be MUCH better off with that. Its used yes, but the thickness and quality of the older steel is far superior yo what you can buy new. Its nothing to drill out a few spot welds and re-attach the stuff you get from.him. in the end, you will be much better off.
