How difficult would a front end swap be, and how much do you think it would cost?

If you want a Grand Am, buy a Grand Am.

I didn't bother reading the rest of this thread, but I'm sure it has been said before. Its a little silly to think about putting grand am parts on an alero...other then the side view mirrors.

If you want an aftermarket Grand Am hood, you could get a fiberglass one and just fix the front so it flows with the headlights.. since fiberglass is easy to mod/ work with.

you have to do an entire front end conversion i think ive seen 1 alero with it since ive been here....it looked out of place....but different.
but the alero front imo is one of its nicest perks.
