No, unless you do a whole front body conversion. That means changing out the hood, fenders, grille, front bumper, side markers, and of course the headlights.
On top of that, there's a lot of cutting, fabrication and customization to get the fenders to flow.
There are some people on this forum who have done conversion from a sedan front to a coupe front, but it costs a pretty penny.

Isn't there only one that successfully pulled it off?

The fenders need to be fabbed, the coupe ones won't fit at all. It's kind of worth it for ease of front end parts(hoods, grilles, headlight mods, bumpers etc) but it's a decent amount of cash.

you would think that OP will do a simple google image search before posting.... but no...

i mean its not like 03-04 sedan vs 05-06 sedan.... its coupe vs sedan, even from a far way you can see they look different, so how can they be interchangeable?

Car looks sick with the conversion but for all the money invested I would rather do some other work.. but then again... this is the ONLY sedan that has correctly been converted to the coupe front end.

You gotta remember, that conversion was done back when there were NO parts for the sedan. That was one of the first sedans that wasn't and OEM front or Nismo...

Trailblazer he is.

I thought that too, but it's far from it actually:

Majority of those are lips though, you couldn't get anything like the greddy the KS or any of the real nice look kits that were available for the coupe. I can't remember what the sportec looked/looks like. Is that the super ugly one that sticks out like 10 inches from the grille?
