Yeah! thanks for the parts, everything worked perfect!
the hardest part was swapping the hood latch lol.

I always thought that the 2nd gen front end never quite matched the rest of the car.

Was it easy to do? Does the duratec still fit under the 1st gen hood?

I've always thought the 05-07 fenders were to square for the hatches, that why I wanted to do the swap.

The hardest part was like I said in Hardkores reply was the hood latch, it was hard to get tools in there to take the bolts out.

It took me about 5 hours by myself in my driveway, I took my time so I didn't forget or loose anything.

There were Duratecs in some 04 cars so there isn't any clearance issues. ;
