2017 Silverado front end to 2015 front end

[Brandonr67]

Can you change the front end from a 2017 Silverado to the front end of the 2015? The 17 front looks bad in my mind. Does anyone know or have tried?

Im 100% confident that is doable,
Here’s my 15 with the 16/17 front end.

Awesome so if the 17 can fit on the 15 the 15 should be able to on the 17 thank you

That’s correct., let know if sell the headlights, I’ll be interested in buying them from you.

Alright will do thank you so much

Sure you can but, once you try the HID headlights on the 17 you'll be seriously disappointed in the head lights on the 15... Plus it's gonna kill your resale value.

It's all personal preference, depends on if you're a chrome guy or not.

 

I love the looks of the '17 front end, especially on the darker ones as pictured above.

True on the resale part but not really looking to sell it anytime soon, and true to the preference, the new models looks nice if it has the color match front end but the chrome on the new ones to me is ugly. The 2015 front end just seems as it would be good in chrome or color matched and would be fun to have a 2017 that looks like a 2015 switch it up every other year.

Totally agree. The chrome on the 14-15 looks much better and aggressive than the 16-17., thats why went with black on my 16 conversion. And I’m the same way I’m keeping my truck to pass it on to my first born.. maybe..lol

While I’m not a huge fan of chrome the 14-15 front end just works.

Maybe consider swapping in some painted parts off of a z71 or Custom trim level truck? It would give you a different look but, won't hurt your resale value as much

Are you silver ice metallic?  I'll swap with you and I'm fairly close.

Would never go from a '17 to a '15. That's just me...

I knew a family that once bought a prior salvage Grand Am from a rebuilder. They thought it looked good. When I saw it, I questioned whether they were aware the rear of the car wasn't right. The car was a 96 I believe. Turns out the rebuilder had a 93 rear and used it to repair the 96 (two different generations) from the doors back (2 door cars). Ended up with a frankencar that had electrical problems.

I think of this every time I read of someone doing a swap, whether going from 14-15 to a 16-18 or the other way. There may not be electrical issues but it would make me think of something that had been severely wrecked and someone used parts available to repair rather than the right ones.
