I think the TL lights are bigger. It might be able to be done if you swap fenders, bumper, hood. lights, grill. Some fabrication, Im sure anything can be done.

The fron frame rails are pretty similar. The bulkhead, crossmember and horn bracket are the same, but the left and right side pieces and center support are different. This is probably because the headlights are different.

I f you got money and patients it might work. good luck with your TL coupe

well i dont have one jus yet but i love the tl and i like the cl rear end but the front end looks odd to me. i've been debating on which one i should get and i was was wonder if maybe i can get the best of both worlds. i figured some minor fab work and swapping the the fenders headlights, etc. but i wasnt too sure on the dimensions of each car

well, it would require weldwork, i assume, its not quite as easy as a swap as say a golf front end on a jetta or vice versa, i'd imagine it could look pretty cool!
