Will a SRX front end fit on CTS?

hey, I saw a black SRX sport and loved the front end.. Does anyone know if it will fit on the CTS? It also had a different sport grille

if you do manage to get it on there im sure the lines wont all match up...it will probably look funny. if its the headlights and grill you like your best bet is probably to just put on a v bumper or some sort of aftermarket bodykit with a sports grill and then see if you can somehow make those headlights fit. i really dont know if it is worth it tho.
remember this is a taller vehicle so the pannels will be bigger top to bottom (or at least should be)
is this the front end you are talking about?

I think its the same exact bumper

....as far as year to year comparison...but not a brand new one pictured above and one of ours

Well, since dubs make a CTS look like a 4x4, the natural progression would be to turn it into an SUV. Have at it...

Closest youre going to get is a sport grill with V bumper. Looks better like this IMHO.

agreed...ctsv bumper with sport grill like nick has is the cheapest and easyestthing you can do...or look for a aftermarket front end, i wouldnt bother changing the headlights...i just dont think its worth it. but by all means grab a front clip off a rear ended and written off srx and givver a try...ide love to see it.

btw ..i like yer cts nick...wanta donate yer rims to the perl CTS fund ? lol

shit, take a swing at it, nothings impossible. one of the SWIFT CTS guys fabricated a 2008 CTS front end onto a 1st generation CTS.

its not too difficult from the look of the pictures..

not sure if the wheel well/fenders will come out right or if they'll need some custom work or not... but it looks doable, and its by no means impossible.

(i personally like this SRX bumper more than the standard SRX bumper cover, but again, its up to you & your taste; http://images.motortrend.com/feature..._side_view.jpg )
