I dont think "cheap" sleek headlights exsist... As ar as you new goodies go, trial and error, trial and error my friend. It what makes owning a 7 so enjoyable, no two alike! I just upgraded my intercooler (big stock mount), air box (ARC, mounts in factory location) and piping along with a bunch of other mods (air pump removal, pulleys, removal of the rats nest, and non-sequential turbo set up) and I had to fabricate brackets for the intercooler and make some fancy duct work (that I'm STILL workin on!) to make sure the air is going where it needs to.... I'll do a write up when I get the ducts finished... I guess what I'm trying to say is, you wont know unitil you try!

The current greddy front mounts are made to mount on the front of the chassis support. Not behind where the old ones mounted. You should not have to move your radiator to install the new intercooler. Sleek headlights suck BTW. stay away from them. The stockers are the best headlamps you will get without spending serious coin.

Good luck.

that should of been one of your first mods. It depends on the radiator i have a koyo and a greddy FMIC and i had to have the rad custom mounted for my single setup. but when i was running on the stock twins it fit in the stock location very well with no fitment issues.
