Default GXP fascia on SSEi - will it work?

i know this has been discussed before, but after an hour of looking on yahoo and using bc'* search function . . . ive found nothing.

so will this work? 04/05 GXP front and rear fascia on my 02 SSEi. doors would match okay, i think. id have to find a good picture of one to photoshop so i could see it.

would i have to change the lights too?

IMO, you're probably going to need all of the side moldings and rear bumper, because if you look at the GXP, you'll see that the lines of the bumper wouldn't match up with the lines of the rest of the SSEi

Also, with the lights, I'm a big fan of the GXP lights, so if I were you, I'd swap em

rear fascia would be just a quick swap
the front however if im not misstaken would requier the swaping of the fascia, impact absorber fog light mounts and possible some miner wire to acomidate the fog ding noware near where they are on the Ei

the sid cladding should match up close so i wouldnt worry about that.
I think it would be sweet if you did the GXP spoiler swap too

I like the look of our front end/grille placement better than the gxp'*. My opinion though.

the tailights are a different story though.... X2 with the spoiler, i thought about doing that.
