Even if its a wrecked car anywhere itll have a clear title if it was fixed, cars only get salvage titles if they have been wrecked & the insurence desides not to fix it, my car has a clear title

Youll need more than just hood fender headlights & bumper, youll need the headlight header panel, bumper asorber & a few other parts

I'd love to do the opposite and put an '00-'05 front end on an '06-'07 V8 SS.

if you know what all the parts are would be great if you could make a list, found all these parts online new aftermarket for under 800 bucks so far

Best thing to do is goto a junk yard & buy a whole front clip that way you have everything

It's referred to that here too - I just paid off my lien for my 05 and now it has a "clear" title.
