Outta curiosity, are the core supports different too?

Probably. The hood latch (IIRC) is part of the rad core support.
I looked into this too, cause I wanted to do a shell swap, but it never happened cuz I just took the whole car!
dood, just get the whole car, and drop your engine in there, and whatever else you feel you gotta have. ..that's my best advice, friend.

ok well i already have a hood and i need new fenders, so if i get the headlights and corner lights (making custom grill) then it will just all bolt on ???
i figure it will as the only differance i can see is the cut of the the corner lights and the lip of the hood.

you're not starting off with anything as a grille? because the prefacelift grille is way to small to "modify"

so you're just going to have black mesh butting up against your headlights?

well not really, butting sounds so half baked i think ill cut the shape of my mesh and then run a black rubber seal strip around the mesh to give it some shape and keep it flush with the head lights.
mainkly im just looking for ward to having nice driving lights for off roading o==o
