    Only thing I brought new was the hood (after market) the brackets and clips (dealer ) . Every thing else on craigslist. That being said say about $2200 . But sold use parts for about $1000 so say $1100. If you pick up sport hood you still have to buy the scoop and some other items unless you find a used sport hood .
    You can use your old fasteners

    I've been following this thread for a while and got on an accident the other day so decided to go with the 2012-2015 front end since I was going to spend the money either way. It should be done next week. I am really exited and will post pictures.

    Looks great! Wondering if you had any issues dealing with insurance on the different parts or did you just take a check?

    That's awesome. What an improvement man. Nice job! No offense but I can't stand the pre facelift 2nd gen. Those bug eye headlights just kill it for me.

    Has anyone ordered any of the brackets from rockauto? Or is everyone ordering the brackets from toyotapartsdeal? If ordering from rockauto assuming capa certified would be fine?

    I tried the aftermarket brackets and spent a lot of time trying to make them work with no way in hell that they would work, way off, nothing fit and the holes wouldn't align !! Spent the coin on factory brackets and everything went together like a puzzle , now onto paint!,

    This conversion almost make it like you have a new truck. Damn I don't want to get in a front end collision but if it happens you bet I'll be doing a swap

    Anyone have luck with a repair shop doing the conversion under warranty

    No... the grills are a different shape...and if you change the grill then you need to change the hood as well.
