wondering if i can take a 2011 gt front end and put it on a 2006 gt? Does anyone know if it will work?

 

If you can find the parts im sure it could be done, might easier and less of a hassle to buy a nice aftermarke bumper or body kit

 

Sure it can be done. You'll need the fenders, headlights and hood too. Otherwise they wont line up correctly. Then you will need new door skins, and rear quarters to match the front fenders, since the body lines are slightly different. Then a rear bumper cover, and trunk lid will be necessary to line up with the rear quarters.

Other than that, your good to go.

 

Crash your car and have them swap it with 2011 parts, that way insurance pays for it.

 

You could probably just do it by buying the fenders, hood, bumper, grille and headlights and then flowing the body lines into your current door but that depends on the skill of your bodyshop

 

Is this for real? I thought once you get to the fenders, they were 100% compatible with all S197 bodies.

 

Get a GT500 front end and be done with it

 

Can it be done? Sure, but you would need to do a TON of body work on top of all the parts need. Check out the body lines of the 2010-11 and then look at the body lines on the 2005-9. They don't match up at all plus look and the fender well body lines, again they are no where close to the same.

 

How far off are the fender lines from the 10-11 plastic front end and rear fascias? Would it be noticeable from normal eye view? Or do you have to be really close in to see the mismatch?

 

It would be really cool if you could get this to work. Its will end up being really expensive though.
