I did confirm with the dealer that the main front radiator support is the same part number for both coupe and sedan! also, the front bumper support brace is the same too.

I'm sorry, but I won't have any updates for awhile. With Xmas approaching, I don't have any "play time" right now.

I have been holding back since I realized that I have cut my sedan fenders and then cut the coupe fenders....to belnd them together. This means guaranteed downtome for my sedan. I don't feel like renting a car for a week or 2 right now.

I am also trying to collect the parts still. Know anyone who has a good deal on a used Black coupe hood? Like I was saying earlier about Xmas.....I just don't feel right spending money on myself at this time of year.

yeah,,, I know what you mean about not wanting to spending on yourself this time of year. Just come back early next year with a clear mind and some cash flow for yourself.

You can always donate parts or cash to the cause. I won't say no.

That bumper looks a little bit like mine




Edit: I say do it. The coupe lights alone are worth it. Both the headlights and the parking lights. Until I got this bumper I had never noticed that the parking lights were in the middle of the bumper for the coupes. I think it looks better that way. Good luck

Hope you finish it man. Would be pretty cool, my body shop just did a charger front end onto a magnum. Fenders had to be fused together and than blended.
