scobaru5 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 my friend crashed my car, so long story short I'm going to convert to a newer style front end. My question is how different is the 05 metal beam versus the 08 front? is it possible to fit the 05 beam under the 08 front? he is paying out of pocket for it, so I'd like to make it as cheap as possible so far this is my parts list of what is needed for the conversion Fenders Bumper Bumper cover Bumper foam Headlights Headlight brackets Fog lamps and pig tails Tow hook cover am I missing anything?

xt2005bonbon Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 If you convert to an 08, you'll have to swap the whole front end, which includes the hood as well (and fenders as ibr_adam09) mentioned. I actually want to do this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobaru5 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 I know, and the hood is the same between the 05-09. What I want to know is the metal bumper beam, how different is the 05 vs the 08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I know, and the hood is the same between the 05-09. Actually you're right. This is correct for the LGTs. I have an OBXT and that is not the case for us. I was assuming the same for the LGT... As for answering your question, I think here is the info you are looking for: Headlights, fenders, bumper, bumper beam, foam absorber, grill, headlight brackets, fogs, custom pig tail for fogs.. Pretty sure that's everything. Ask me how I know..
