09 Meteorite Metallic Front Swap
Would anyone want to or be willing to swap their 07/08 front end with my new 09 front end? I absolutely hate the headlights. The color would have to be Meteorite Metallic, so it is a straight swap. Also I would be willing to put in up to $100 too if everything is in good condition. I live in NY willing to travel 100 miles.

I get the car tomorrow so the longer you wait the more beat up it gets... if you tell me now I'll tape up the front w/ painters tape so it's uber new.

pink wheels are cool

i dont think many people would be willing to swap, its not a direct fit and like yourself, not many people dig the 09 look :(

if so it's fine, probably better to have all my stock parts, technically I only want the stock bumper and I'm sure I can get one for $500 painted no prob.

wont fit
09s are different then 08s you need the old headlights and i think the hoods are the same but the headlights dont line up as well so you need to drill new holes fogs are different as well |

lol... I know the headlights are different and so is the hood I believe. I'm going to get black projector lights or stock, and a seibon cf hood, if no one wants a 09 front end plus $100.

Hood is the same. Fogs are the same - just the trim piece around the fogs is different.

As stated above, you will need to also drill for the headlight mounting point change. If you end up buying a new one or an ebay one, don't forget that you need the grills and fog trim or blanks as well.

post # 149 is pics. mine is the only one with rectangular driving lights on the bumper. lights are mounted in 3/8's holes on the top side of the lower grill, you'd have to lay on your back to see them. im gonna give you a good long time to think about it as im going on vacation for a week leaving tonight. i'll have my computer... i need to stand in front of an '09 to get an idea, i've looked at a few pictures and don't see the major differences other than the lower grill... whats different? and how big a deal is redrilling the lights? i have no qualms drilling plastic, but is it in a bad spot? is it still going to be structurally substantial? |
