Default Swap out front bumper from '06 to a 2010?

I was wondering if this has been discussed yet? I noticed the new fenders are different then the 2005-2009 mustangs, so it might not match up. But I'm wondering how hard it would be to put a 2010 bumper on my '06. Anyone know any info?

Considering the front end is longer and the fenders different, I don't think you'll have much luck.

If you have enough money, it can be done.
Most likely it would require a full front end conversion similar to a gt500 front

Also the hood shape is different and won't match up either

i believe almost every body panel on the 10+ is different than the 05-09, so i highly doubt everything will align properly

The only panel that is a carry over is the roof (so they can offer the glassback roof). For the money it would cost to even attempt to do it, you could do a GT500 conversion, which looks better anyway!

Not sure if it's possible nor worth the hassel IMO. And why ?? Other conversions are much nicer looking...!!!

It would look A LOT better to just do a GT500 front end conversion. I like the front on the '10, but the '07 - '09 GT500 has the best front.

Although I do like my '06 GT front a lot. It's old school and that's how I roll.

It could be done but not worth te money...

I could clip your car for you and put a 67 front end if you wanted to.
It would only take a load of cash.
