Default old + new = new car with old headlights?

hello... i was thinking about buying 2002 camaro... since i am not a fan of the new headlights at ALL in the 2002. (i basically hate how the look. sorry) i was thinking about getting a new camaro and replacing the headlights with the 1995-97 lights? do you think that would be a hard job or a good idea.. need advice.

It's possible, but I'm not sure if all the front panels will line up. I'm not sure if the curves are that much different. You might need to get all the front body panels

ive been thinking about the samething. i would think you can just bolt on the 93+ front end, and you wuold have to change the air intake so it goes to the wheel well, because of hood clearance the stock lid setup wont clear.

yeah like import said, you can do it, but youll need the whole front end to the earlier 4th gen and run the intake like an elbow instead of where its at in the newer ones straight ahead

ive looked at doing this but its the opposite for me by putting the new front end on you have to get a new bumper, bumper guards, fenders, hood. unless you just wanna trade with me straight up
