99-05 front end conversion questions

Been thinking of swapping out the grille, bumper and headlights on my e99 to the 05-07 style. I found a quy on that auction site who sells all the parts for about 550 with shipping. Seems to good to be true, so I thought I would see if anybody had any experiences before I spend money.

ebay listing

Thanks

Looks alright. Probably made in China cheap aftermarket stuff. Also it doesn't specifically say it's a swap. It just says 05-07 front end.
He also has several different style kits. I prefer the one with the honeycomb inserts in the grille. might do this myself on my '04....

The lack of specifics for a swap don't bother me..as much as the cheap quality being an eBay deal. Sounds like your of the same opinion as me.

I think you could find the parts locally much cheaper than $600. Do you have a Certi-fit auto parts near you or someone else that deals in aftermarket parts?
