full front end conversion?

when i used to be into mini trucks i remember how u could pretty much put an escalade front end onto many GMC/Chevy trucks. So i was wondering if it would be possible to put an 03 TL front end on a cl? would there be alot of modifications involved or would it be pretty much bolt on with minor tweeks?

kinda like this

(quick photoshop)

Pretty sure someone already did this, search around and u should be able to fine it. With money, imagination, and a whole lot of skills anything it possible with your cl.

im talking about full conversion, headlights, grill, hood, bumper, not just lip/bumper like that thread shows.

i know putting a lip would be alot cheaper but the headlights on those TL's in my opinion are the nicest.

but yea....does anyone know if it would be able to bolt on? and again im talking about ENTIRE front end of the car

nothing will just bolt on, needs modification.. you'll need the hood as well as fenders, bumper, grill, headlights and how to mount them as well as modifying everything.. i'd rather do a different conversion.
