Jakespud Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I really love my 2007 LGT, but after the last few months of seeing the 08-09 body style I really like that front end so much more. I think it looks a little more aggressive than the 05-07 front end. Has anyone ever swapped out the front end of an 07 for an 08 before? I'm really thinking about doing it just dont know if it will work. 2007 http://i.imgur.com/Qz728.jpg 2008 http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g94/GuttedLS/DSCN2269_zps1a73aaba.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I believe blongo804 just did this swap, so he could give you first-hand info. If you can't find a used swap I can help you with new hardware since I am an OEM parts dealer. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gex Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Fenders, bumper, headlights, grill, fog lights, fog light wiring harness. There was something else as well. Cant think of it off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Dagwood Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 By the way, Jakespud, where's your hood scoop? 08Legacy08, if he's running a front mount, would he need anything different to do the conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Legacy08 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nope, just a MINOR trim of the front bumper cover in the lower opening... just the inner corners really - not noticeable at all after install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Nope, just a MINOR trim of the front bumper cover in the lower opening... just the inner corners really - not noticeable at all after install. Minor... LOL Depends on how big the FMIC is and if you want to get rid of the buck tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Dagwood Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm not even sure he does have a fmic, I just sort of assumed he does because he's got a gt but no scoop...? I'm also not entirely sure that pic in post #1 is his car. 07 NBP limited with no scoop, '05 lights, and dark seats? Yeah...I don't think so.

rps13de Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have the 08-09 front on my 05. It is a simple paint and bolt on project. I had no issues at all. I think all of the headlight and foglight harness plugs matched as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it either works or I ditch the fogs, because.... "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
