Default Front bumper/headlight swap thread

I was wondering if anyone has gotten the idea to swap the front of a tC with another car. Say the new toyota camry

So if you've swapped the front post up some pics!

way too much cutting and fabrication to be practical. I like the new camry and all, but why would you want to hack up a perfectly good tC for that? maybe if there was major front end damage.

I think the new camry front looks like ____. I liked the last one way better. The middle of the bumper and grill stick out too much.

yall are mistaken. I was looking to see if anyone has done a different front instead of just a body kit. Frankly, I'm not one to do it because my money is tied up in my turbo kit. Just wanted to see if anyone had the idea or was doing it currently. Perhaps a Lexus IS front or maybe another car maker(but why put a ford or other front on a toyota??). Just a thought I had today, see if anyone was trying to do it.

I've seen a pic floating around where someone changed the grill all around. Not just the grill but some major bodywork type change. I'm 2 lazy 2 look 4 it though
