00 02conversion question again

hey guys as i have posted earlier i f**ked up my front bumper and possibly my hood. I have searched over the forums and still couldnt get a definitive answer. so sry if these questions are too basic:
I am aiming to probably get a new hood and front bumper, can i just get the 02-03 hood and bumper and will it fit with my current 00 lights/rad support etc? (i know they will look different but will they fit?
and my other question is: what is the minimal way to have the 02/03 hood and physically keep as much 00 tl parts as possible?.
thanks!

my bad homie. well the answer is no. 02-03 head lights are bigger. and so is the grill. have to swap out hood, fenders, headlights,and bumper. not sure on the core support but ill get back to you unless someone chimes in. unless you have a background in fabrication and possess the knowledge on welding metal and plastic not to gether then you might be able to get it to work. otherwise NO DICE homie. hope that cleared it up for you.

It shouldnt cost any where near that. I searched and found all the parts used for under 1k

fstty really? used bumper/hood/fender/headlight etc. thats amazing. did u install everything urself? well i think my repair for the 00 bumper + hood is prolly guna be around 1500k. any1 done the conversion can u guys tell me the cost (i noe the threads say 4-5k), and should u guys think that i should just go wit the 00 parts or go for the 02 parts?? I really love the 02 hood look
thz in advance for replies

well first off start off by contacting those people on the links i sent you. pm and ask them what they did. some may have found the front end in the same color as thiers or may have had a shop respray it. or even maybe they work at a shop and sprayed it them selves. they will tell you exactly what youll have to do and if you will run into any problems or if there is a better way to install it. gl on your mod

I didnt do the conversion. but i used this and searched around for the parts. Install things yourself and save alot of money, then bring it in to be painted
