Install Hood/Grill from 09+ on 05-08?

Anyone know if it's possible to install new-type hood+grill on 05-08 using hood/grill from 09+?

I know the hood is shorter and grill is taller.

Would one simply need a new hood & grill, or are there other changes?

i suspect you'd need to ch ange a lot mor than just the hood and grill... you'd probably have to change lights, other stuff yhou can't see - mounts, etc.. no way it would be worth the investment / customizaiton req'd.. just my $.02....

you could add a lot more "bang" for the buck in terms of looks by just adding bigger wheels, lowering it, and doing the aspec kit... again, just my thoughts...

You would need to change the whole front end -- hood, bumper, and fenders. Headlights, grille, foglights....it's a 5-6k job easy.

Use a big hammer and it will not only make it fit, it will improve its looks as well!

Hmmm.

So it sounds like what is needed is for someone to produce a new-style "look-alike" grill modified to fit the dimensions of a 05-08
