i would imagine that the only differences are aesthetics, and a couple brackets here and there. easiest way to do it i would say, get a parts car, get what ya need, then get rid of what ever is left.

I have done it and the results are great, i have done a couple threads on it so search for my name and you will find them, all in all the parts themselves cost around 500 extra as you can see off most of the parts you take off, just depends on what hood you get. Also unless you get parts off a similar color car you have to factor in paint, i had my entire car repainted and some adjustments and dings/dents fixed, also had the sail panel, mirrors and ceta done in black and it ran me around 4k but that was red paint which is expensive. But if you just have the front end done with blending you could probably get it done under 2k depending on where you go.
