It would need alot of fabrication/bodywork.
You could (maybe) get the full front from a 5 and swap it for the 6 including all the light mounts/harnesses/relays etc. But you'd also need to modify the wings, the bonnet and the bumper. Not sure if they'd line up properly anyway as I doubt the angle of the 6 bonnet is the same as the 5 bonnet. without seeing them both next to each other and seeing where/how everything is fastend in, its difficult to say just how much work would be involved. I am guessing alot though. End of the day it is upto you and depends how much time/money you have. Anything is possible with the right amount of money. |

it would be sweet if like they didnt flip up, but there would be these covers over them and you hit a button and the covers would slide up real fast like those sci-fi doors in Star-trek. Then same thing for close. And make the sweet sound also. THAT would be cool!
