He has an entire 2006-07 front clip on his 2000-05? I can see the rear bumper swapping fine since the rear quarters are unchanged and the trunk lid dimensions are the same. That would actually be a nice conversion. However, the front changeover would have to be all the front clip pieces: fenders, headlights, hood, grilles and bumper. I just see that being too much work, in my opinion. You might as well just buy an 06-07 instead of doing all that.

Thats the second car I've seen personally do it. I dont know if they're just swapping parts with wrecked cars or what.
