Not without replacing the front fenders. The lights are a completely different shape.

I'm not sure. I've seen pictures of some done, but I don't know what they had to do. However, I do remember seeing someone that did not replace their bumper and it looked funny because the bumper has the cutouts for the headlights. I don't know if the grille is a different shape, but I know they moved the logo from the top to the middle of the crossbars.

You will need it all to make it look right.

Fenders, bumper, grill and lights, but hey, you can keep your hood. Not worth it by any means.
