The vehicles are entirely different in shape for the front end. You're not asking if a coupe bumper fits a sedan from the same generation.

I'm sure you can slap on some bondo and make it look ok but it's not anything close to what you'd call "fairly easy". I'd treat it more like the California Type-R headlight swap from back in the day.

Right off the bat:

- Hoods are different
- Headlights are different (fender where it meets headlight is different)
- Grill is integrated into bumper cover
- different shaped bumper obviously

So if "fairly reasonable" means buying or modifying your hood, fenders, grill, radiator support, etc then absolutely it's fairly reasonable.

I consider "fairly reasonable" to be doing the coupe/sedan bumper swap where you aren't doing nearly as much work and everything lines up as it should.
