has anyone tried a full coupe front end swap?
I have been thinking about trying to pull of a coupe front end swap. there'll probably be some blending/combining of panels to make the fenders work with the sedan doors, A-pillars and such, but I am wondering if most of the front end (hood, bumper, head lights, etc) will bolt right up or do you need to get a new front radiator support, bumper brace, etc.

I know that much. I didn't mention bumpers because I wasn't planning on using a stock bumper. I was thinking it would be an easy way to "widebody" the front of the sedan, and you'd have a huge choice of bumpers, too!!! then, you'd have to have someone custom widen the rear fenders. Of course, I'd need to get a set of coupe headlights,too.
