The grill does appear different, it comes to more of a point at the bottom, but I agree the headlights, while the reflectors and projector are different, I think their overall shape is the same.

Really what I need to do is find a second hand OEM sport package front bumper, preferably already in black.

Early gassers are getting beat enough that they are starting to show up in droves at junkyards.

Thanks for the insights Jim! I need to send Tim and update on his car.
