3g front end on 7g accord?

Not sure if it is appropriate to place this thread in this forum;

Well I am currently placing too many miles on My 3g TL-S and was thinking about getting a 2nd car. I was looking into the 7g Accord coupe but am not too fond of the front end of the 7g accord. I was wondering if the front end of a 3g (hood, fenders, headlights, bumper and radiator support?) has been attempted to be placed on a 7g accord coupe before? I thought it would be like the continuation of the now Discontinued Acura CL?

it seems like alot of custom shit had to be done to make this fit but I think it would look good. maybe if someone got a front end collision 7th gen then tried to customize it, that would be pretty crazy actually

Two completely different cars so it won't be a direct bolt on swap, but anything is possible with enough money.

What about a 2G CL?

Actually they share quite a bit. It won't be a direct swap but shouldn't take that much modification.


Even so... OP please don't do it. Only front-end swap I think is kinda cool would be a 2G CL front on a 2G TL.

You guys got a point! I'll stick with my 07 TL-S. Has 47k on it. I thought that was high but by the numbers i'm seeing recently, it could be worse.

Mileage doesn't necessarily make a car old. I felt perfectly happy buying my 03 Accord with 100k on it, because I know it can easily go three or four times that distance, and I plan on getting it that high. Advantage: Cheaper price!

I've always thought the price of a second car is more expensive than a properly maintained high mileage primary car
