ok so i have a 04 dale jr mc ss. i like the 06 front ends alot better, i would like to change my current front end to the newer style but dont want to mess up the originality of the car so im stuck lol. i am keeping the orig front end so if i ever sell it or just want to go back to the old style i can put it back on. so i need the wisdom of my co-members . thanks

i think it would be alot easier to just buy a 7th gen. sounds like alot of work for something like that. specialy since you have a dale JR. just sell that and buy a newer one.

i dont think it would look right on the jr edition.

if i were you i would put it up for sale or trade it off on an 06-07 ss.

How many miles are on it? do you have the COA and original window sticker for it?

00-05 Front ends were UNIQUE.

Better than looking like an Impala

Embrace your beautiful car for what it is!!

dont do it! a dale jr should be left how it was meant to be
if in the furture you can sell/trade it, then sell/trade it for 06/07 SS!

A little bit of modifications to run a smaller supercharger pulley and you'll forget all your problems.
