Converting 05 front clip to 06

Anyone have the part numbers necessary to convert my buddies 05 Dodge to the 06 style front end?

I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!

dealer parts counter.
the exterior sheet metal should fit. it will all come down to wether or not the core support is the same. if it is then you just need the sheet metal and light and bumper i would think. but don't quote me as i have not done one yet.

I know the hood fits. The fenders won't due to the new headlights. So either get new fenders or cut the old ones. Need a new bumper also. The old style has recesses for the headlights. Not necessary for the new style.

Too much time and money on his hand apparently.

Funny, I thought about buying a new '06 and going back to the '05 front end, I dont like the '06+ front end, just not my preference...

If he does it, tell him to get the 07 headlights. I think they look alittle cleaner since they dont have the amber strip running across the bottom. Heres the 07 with the 06 below.

Im digging the new 06 style.. If I had the money to spend, I'd do the same to my truck. Fenders, headlights, bumper and you should be done.
