Backdate to G55 Front End
I have a 2011 G550 and would like to change the bumper and grill to a 2005 spec G55 with no push bar. Does anyone know where I can purchase the OEM front end for the conversion? Would I also need G55 fender flares for the bumper to fit correctly? Many thanks.

You don’t need the G55 flares for the bumper to fit (you have the same bumper but with circular fog light housing), but your flares are narrower (both front and rear) than all G55 trucks.
To clarify the only aesthetic exterior difference between 03-08 G55s and 2009-2011 G55s are the fog light housings.
the only exterior differences between your truck and an 05 G55 are:
bottom push bar
Square fog lights
wider fender flares

Was this in the LA area? If so I believe it was done by platinum motors and I can find some photos if anyone would like.
