Front End Conversion
I was at the mall the other day, and as i see a Grand Am going by, i wonder if there is any way anyone has ever tried to do a front end conversion. We own a dodge magnum and i'm a member of the forum, front end conversions with the 300c are really popular. Since the alero and the Grand Am basically have the same body (right?) is there anyway someone could do it?
Peace
Just a thought lol

All you have to do is get a Grand Am Header Panel and buy the head lamp and hood, fenders, and front bumper, and then everything is bolt on.

they are both n-bodies, even the malibu is the same car
the re-bar on all 3 cars are the same, hood hinges same too,
you will need the hood, fenders, the headlights, and the energy absorber, and the headlight mount panle
for the rear, deck lid, tail lights
and it does all bolt on did it at work

My dad has a grand am, nice to hae 2 n-bodies in the family, but I'm pretty sure that the trunk is shaped differently, although if the rear bumper is replaced it may work.

The rear end is possible but with the ammount of time and cash you would have to put into it just buy a grand am and be done with it. I like the front ends on both the cars though.
