Default Monaro Owners - Question!

Strife, and you other Holden Monaro/GTO owners, could you please look at those Pontiac press photos and help me determine if the front bumper cover is interchangable with the Holden front end? From looking at the photos, it appears that they share the exact same hood and headlights, as well as fenders. This would make alot of sense (less retooling costs). If so, then we should be able to purchase holden bumper covers and put them on the Pontiac!

I like the front on the US GTO. A few other people I have spoken to recently, think the same way. Maybe swaps are in order?

The lines/angles of the grille do not match the lines/angles of the headlights <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> . This sticks out a bunch on the yellow press car, not so bad on the red. Black will probably look pretty good.
