This is purely subjective, but I have to admit I don't like the look of the Olivier Boulay front end of all Magnas after the TJ (ie TL and later). Does anyone know if it's possible to simply replace the front guards, bonnet, etc of a late model Magna with ones from a TJ?

Nah its not easily. Front intrusion bar/radiator supports are different, front quarter panels etc.

Be much easier and cheaper to buy a TH/TJ and get a TL boot lid, rear bumper and tail lights - even still, that'll end up costing around the $900 mark

Thanks, gents, for the info. This thought arose when I considered what to get when I update my current 2001 TJ. I'm leaning towards getting an AWD version, but a lot of the 2003 TJ examples have too many k's on them. Oh well, perhaps the later ones will grow on me.
