converting 05 to 06+

okay, I am about to get my whole truck repainted which includes buying aftermarket lights, hood, bumper, and grille. How much more would it cost to just buy 06 fenders and all of the above for an 06 and convert my truck to the newer model style? Can it be done? Do the brackets and stuff match up?

you will need:

Grill, front bumper, headlights and fenders...they should be a direct bolt on

I've got an '06 Laramie front bumper I wanna get rid of.

Also, I am not sure but maybe the wiring for the head lights may be different. One of those little things over looked until you have the parts hanging and things do not match up. Along those lines, make sure you get the mounting brackets for the new parts as they may be different from the old ones.

the reason i ask is because i am going to buy a new bumper, grille, and hood(aftermarket) all the sport package ready to paint. the lights are going to be black to go with paint. i figured if im going to change all this out to paint it i may as well just get the 06 fenders and change my truck to the new bodystyle. the fenders will have to come off to be painted anyway so i wont be paying for installation. where can i find a price for the fenders? ohhh by the way who knows some really good paint and body shops in houston area i plan to shave it, lambo the doors, and suicide the rears. the truck is tan but i plan to change it to black with ghost flames i am willing to pay 15-20k for the job can it be done for this? thanks
