what all do i need to convert my 05 cavalier front end to a 2002 front end?
I read it and still need to know if I can keep my hood or do I have to get a new one
the only thing you can use are the fenders... 2000-20005 use the same headlight wiring harness.
you need
hood
lights
bumper
hood latch

Look at both hoods and tell us what you think...

Im doing a heart transplant (engine) as we speak in my cav should be done sometime this week. ill trade u fronts. i have a 200-2002 front end n would like to do the 03-05 front again on it
Ok now that you people think I'm crazy. Will the headlights from a 2002 cavalier at least match up some what under the hood.my plan if this can happen is to custom make a grill and a body kit I just don't want to get rid of my hood
Try it then come back and let us know....

NO! the hoods are shaped totally different .. !

thank you that's what I wanted to know
since I posted this I have purchased the xenon body kit for the 2000 to 2002.
Also I will not be doing the conversion
I'm going to make a custom grill and bumper fills
I should be starting this project around the 7th of march I'll keep everyone post and pictures
Thanks again for your guys help and sorry if I really didn't make sense
xenon body kit @!#$ ugly imo. Only one guy on here that I know of has that kit an he did it the right way it looks tits on his car but I think that kit is @!#$ ugly.... Buy the way youll need diffrent fender liners too.... Good luck with this hope it all works out for ya tho
I can see a lot of fiberglass in your future if you plan on making on 00-02 front bumper fit the 03-05 headlights....and hood

You couldnt tell by just looking at them? Come on, have some common sense. The square peg does not fit in the round hole.

I wish you the best of luck with your FG project..
JBO has yet to prove the skeptics wrong with this kind of stuff. I hope you did your research before your purchase! We all gotta learn somehow anyway. Good luck!
is the 05 an LS Sport?

als does anyone have the rksport dual cat-back exhaust kit if so how are they holding up.
