not to jack the thread at all, but can i ask: what all would you need for strictly just a 05-07 "front end conversion"? not the whole thing? would you only need the front bumper, fenders, headlights, and grille? or more?

Only missing the hood and got off the phone with the guy who makes them and said since this week is the new year holiday so there closed so next Wednesday the hood should be made so this pushes back my plans of starting it this weekend but since I have everything else would it illegal to drive without a hood? lol [wiggle]

you know, you should really rethink this. Your front end is so nice, and you could make my day by selling me your roush front bumper [:D] i kid, but seriously, sick conversion!

I haven't all of the way through the thread, but you are going to need a few more parts that are not pictured.

I did this conversion a few years back with my SVTF

Make sure that you have the headlight and turnsignal bulb sockets from an '05+ and you'll have to splice into the existing wiring to get it to work correctly.

You will also need the Washer Fluid Resivour (sp?) from an '05+. I tried to use the original, but no go.....

You'll need a little bit of extra washer fluid hose to get it to reach the sprayers from it's new location

And last, you'll need a new hood latch. Not REALLY needed, but without it, the lever will be a pain to find and get to every time you go to open your hood.

If you have any questions, let me know, I'll try and help you out if you need it :)

Very jealous[:(], I keep debating on doing what superflea had done but it's so expensive to get the parts up here into Canada. If I remember correctly you are using the ZX3 skirts? I'd really like to see a pic of those up against the car, I keep hearing they may hit the rear door (I know of the overhang that goes into the door). I was debating on your WW skirts and rear but can't make up my mind, heres a pic of my early Roush front on my wagon. Definatly keeping my eye on your progress can't wait to see the end result.
