Please help! - got into accident, need new front end

Okay, the wife rear ended a van and pretty much wasted the front end of my 07 sedan. I need a new hood, both front fenders, passenger headlight and bumper, and not to mention some engine bay stuff.

I know this has been posted somewhere, but hoping someone could help me get out of this pinch.

Can I bolt on the 2011 front end without probs? I'm going to have a body shop do the repairs, so wanna see what is doable.

any help would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance.

the 2010 front end swap has been done on many older G's now and yes its a straight bolt on if u get the new lights, bumper, grill, washer tank, and reinforcement bar. The fenders are the same i believe.

^ yup thats what i was referring to the link that lefizzet posted seems to have every part you may need for this swap apart from little hardware like screws etc.


From that post:


You will need:

Bumper Cover ($350 from the dealer)
3 lower grilles
Fog Lights ($160 a piece from the dealer)
Upper Grille ($260 from the dealer)
Bumper support Styrofoam piece (07-09 wont fit)
Windshield Washer Tank (it's redesigned to fit the foglights)
Headlights ($9xx.xx a piece)

thanks kool! i guess all parts are from a 2010 sedan g35S (just need to make sure)? anyone have part numbers or is this pretty straight forward?

does everything bolt on include the headlights, water tank and stuff? i heard that the fog lights need to be rigged up. anyone have instructions on how to do that?

they are from the 2010 G37S, just make sure you get S and not the regular cause obviously there are differences in shape, as for the fog it should be an easy 5min hook up, all they have to do is to tap the old fog wire from the headlight and connect to the new fog lights in the bumper.

Everything else should bolt right up, but your best answer can come from the few folks who have actually done this themselves shoot a PM to them and you should be good. Stop thinking and just do it!
