front bumper reinforcement needs to be cut
front radiator support/shroud needs to be trimmed - location and amount depends on i/c piping layout
crush tubes need to be removed - depending on i/c piping layout
a/c condenser needs to be removed
front bumper needs to be trimmed
front grill section of hood may need slight trimming

the dragster has no headlights, only the lenses.
on a street car, with the OE radiator, the only way to run 2.5" piping is over the top of the intake manifold, thru the middle - using the space between radiator and bumper reinforcement (a/c condenser removed). with a custom radiator, the piping can be run in a variety of configurations depending on engine package - s/c, rotrex, twin, turbo, etc.
