Default 6th gen coupe conversion on a sedan

It might sound crazy but i was thinking, would it be possible for me to switch out the front bumper, hood, and fenders for the coupes? Because i wanted to put that one Wings West lip kit for the front and mix match it with some other lip kit.

This is the front im talkin bout http://i18.ebayimg.com/02/i/01/f3/95/8c_1.JPG

I've been looking for info regarding the front bumper swap between sedan and coupe as well. I haven't found any good results. I do not think they are a direct replacement, but I also do not think it's difficult to modify the coupe bumper so that it will fit the sedan.

If it's the lip you want, then leave the fender and hood alone. I believe, the hood and fenders from a coupe are longer.

its been a while since ive took measurements but if i remember correctly the size is the same its just the design of the parts are different than the sedans thats why i i threw in the fenders and hood part....remember also that the front engine bay area size shouldnt be any bigger or smaller for the coupe/sedan since its the same motors

What do you mean by same size yet different design? I know that the coupe bumper looks different from the sedan, but if they are the same size what is the difficulty replacing them?
