2000 TL - front end swap to 2003

Soo - I just had a mild front end fender bender. Lame old 07 Yukon Crap box stopped short on me in slow traffic... GMC has to put the trailer hitch at just the right height to smash my hood in.... So - I already had my front end fixed about a year ago. This time around I was wondering if I could do some thing fun to my baby.

Can the hood, headlights, and bumper/grill off of an 02-03 TL and or TL-S be used in place of my 02 TL parts? Any info would be kick ass! Thanks guys~

they will fit without a problem but you will need fenders as well........and i'm guessing that this is a typo.....

Are the '03 BRAKES that much better?

Indeed the '02 was a typo... My badd.

But sweet!
For sure - the 2000 TL will accept all the 2003 Body parts on the frnt end no problem???
Do I need anything else other than the fenders? The mounts and all will line up the same on all of the supports? Do I need all the bumpers guts or will the cover be enough.

Thanks for you help guys - I AM new here and appreciate the welcome!!!
I have to say that my TL is my favorite car owned to date! And its an Automatic..... Whoa!!! haha
