    Does anyone have any idea as to whether or not the new 11,12,13 model Tacoma front ends do completely interchange with the 05-10 model? Also does anyone have part numbers or prices? I want mine to look just the the new trd sports with all white front.

    Completely new grill hood lights and bumper would estimate around 2-3k you think?

    Also I was wondering if there has ever been a solid back rear automatic glass like the tundras?

    No.

    No power option at all from the factory.
    User Ben-Wa offers a mod to rework a Ridgeline power system to operate the factory slider.

    2005 - 2010 are interchangable with 2011. 2012 and 2013 will not fit.

    Here's my 2007 with a 2011 facelift (just a grille swap):

    Oh really? Well did you try this swap or what makes you so absolutely sure the new front end won't fit?

    The core suport is different so its not exactly 100% bolt on. Its already been done.

    it can be done...you just need what was said above (grill, hood, headlights and bumper) and the supports and stuff...
    a member on here is doing it as we speak...still not done finding all the parts yet...

    OK, maybe I should have been more clear... I believe the parts can be changed over but you'd need to change everything. You can't just change the headlights or the grille or the hood, it's an all or nothing conversion. Search 2012 conversion, someone was attempting it and putting together a parts list. I'm not sure if he went through with it or bailed on the project.

    And if it has flares, the portion of the flares that attach to the bumper cover.
