Bbc84 Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Today my 05 Wagon got sideswiped, it looks like I will need new fender, door, and bumper., so Im thinking of using this incident to help upgrade to a JDM front bumper on my other LGT (08 Sedan) From research it looks like 08's+ needs JDM bumper, fenders, grill, and headlights to do a JDM swap. Where a 05-07's really only needs the JDM bumper and the beam it seems. So where I'm going with this is, does any one know if i can swap my '08 USDM front end onto the '05 wagon, and I take the 05' wagon's headlight, fenders and toss that onto the '08 to make the JDM swap simpler on the '08? Im not sure if brackets, or if any mounting spots are still the same between the 05 and 08 LGTs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 You'll def need hood, headlights, fenders, grille, and bumper and all the misc mounting brackets underneath ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsickles Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I think hoods are the same between the years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 They're not. The headlight design is different, so you'll need the correct hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Legacy08 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 This is incorrect. They're not. The headlight design is different, so you'll need the correct hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongo804 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'd assume the biggest switches you need to make to get an '08-09 front end is headlights, fenders, grill, bumper + misc. clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 They're not. The headlight design is different, so you'll need the correct hood. This is incorrect. Only partially incorrect. The headlight design is different, but the hood is not affected. Mr.08Legacy08 knows what he is talking about. The Crimson Dynamo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Legacy08 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I should have clarified.... thanks Underdog. Hoods are the same. Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbc84 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 well looks like there's not enough damage to cover a front end swap for me. So I guess thats a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planelazy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 That's the problem with car forums, someone told me incorrect info then. Oh well, it wouldn't be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
