Keep us updated Josh. I was looking to do this conversion but don't have $2-3k just laying around :/
It can be done for WAY less! I got mine for $800 and it was complete with cover, absorber / foam support, grill, fog lights and corner braces, plus its a Premium Edition so the grills are paint matched as well! The place I got it from had a bunch of platinum factory take offs and had EXCELLENT customer service. If your serious about doing this, give Debbie at Northlake Auto Recyclers @ 877-217-8181 a call, tell her Josh who just bought the diamond white bumper assembly referred you so she kind of knows what you're after.
Look at it this way
$800 Front End
~$200 Shipping
~$100 Misc Parts for Install
$1100
-
$500-600 Sell Old Front End on Craiglist
Only about $500 out on the whole swap!!!!
