      08 front end swap

      Does anyone know what it would take to put the front bumper and hood from an 08 onto an 05? I like the looks of the 08 front end so much better

      Well the frame is the same, but you will need to replace the hood, fenders, bumper and lights. That’ll set you back a few bucks unless you’re lucky to find a rear ender that’s been written off.
      Always make the best of what you have!

      i probably wouldn't even attempt it unless I could find on in that condition, as much as the engines in these things retail for though if I did find one it could be a gold mine

      I'll keep it and add a turbo

      A man with great taste. Good luck on your search. As these 2nd gens get older and older and with the replacement coming out later this year, your search should get easier to find one.
