Unable to locate "Front End" body part of mod Nissans

[Tsudaira]

Been pulling apart the body work for about an hour, can't seem to find the body part called Front End (specifically Nissan skyline GT-R (R33) Front End)

Got the car and its relevant parts from this mod

Help is appreciated, been having to send out incomplete jobs due to that one body part. thanks in advance!

Not familiar with that specific mod but, I do know some mod's have a little piece of frame in the front end where the grill is called 'front end'. And, some even do this with little decorative emblems that go into the nose of the vehicle. either of these can be hard to see the ghost image of when trying to locate where they go.

There is one thing you can do that might help, which I have done before. Go into the Community Body Shop, and look at the R33 Front End part in the shop/inventory if you have it already. You might be able to look at it, and see where it might go. Some mods may have a "Front Right Fender" that is actually a roll-cage in the car. I can see from the shop that the part is a rollcage, so I know where to go to remove it.

Hi, thanks for the replies so far.

I have been looking at the grill area as well, but I can't seem to get any translucent indicator when I prep the part and go into assembly mode...

As for the shop idea, I have looked at it and bought the body part. Looks like a beige rectangle with rounded edges. Still doesn't ring any bells as to where on the car I've seen such a piece

if it is beige, there is a possibility that it is something on the interior. I am going to download the mod myself and have a look

I think I figured it out. Front End E is a visual exhaust piece. Front End and Front End B look like caps that would replace the exhaust if you do not want a muffler to show. Check around the rear end of the car (counterintuitive IK). It is possible the part is not beige, but painted to match the car it was installed on, if you are looking to remove it. If you are looking for where to install it, it may fit into the rear bumper.

Much appreciated. It really is in place of a standard Rear Muffler piece. Never would've found it myself. Thanks once again ttower!

Yea, with mods you cannot use the name to try to locate where it should be. In this case a Front End piece was on the far rear. One car I restored last night has a "Right Trunk Taillight" that was actually the steering wheel, and the "Left Trunk Taillight" was a visual muffler.
