Vibe to Matrix front end swap

Post by b00st »

I was wondering if anybody knows if the 2009 matrix front end will bolt up with a 2009 vibe front end.
My 2009 vibe was in a wreck before I bought it so my front bumpers all messed up.
It looks like I would need the front bumper, hood, and front side panels.
I like the rear end of the vibe but not the front so I think it would be cool to see the end result.
Thanks a lot

I just looked at pics of both, and while the front fenders and everything might easily bolt right up, the character lines do not match between the Matrix fenders and the Vibe front doors. So it would look like you just welded two different cars together.

Won't be for a month or so now. Was going to do it until I hit a pothole and bent two of my rims so I decided to just buy a set of nice rims.
