S550 to GT350 parts?
Tech. questions.
Really want the 2016 GT350 but thinking way ahead here as to the actual future pricing & availability when the time comes. If I am out of the possibility to buy one I am thinking going with a 2015/2016 GT/P.P. and trying the cosmetic change over. I had done this with a 2012 GT bought OEM GT500 hood, front fascia, front/rear spoilers and rear lower clip, stripes, had all applied to the GT looked & fit flawlessly, of course without the GT500 super charged H/P but still did some exhaust work, tuning, car was awesome.
I know this is a completely different animal such as mentioned the GT350 front fenders are wider by about an inch as are the headlight assembly sitting approximately 1" lower as the hood slopes a little bit lower. I think it should all still fit with some "possibly minor" fabrications?
I am not trying to be ridiculous and would not badge it a GT350 but simply would like the duplicated cosmetic look of the GT350 if as I mentioned unable to even get one with regard to availability/pricing. I also understand
I will be close to the actual price of one in parts alone needed to even possibly do this.
Can the technical experts advise on this, if it will even be possible? thanks.

Yea I agree looks like it will be cheeper just to take out a loan and get a gt350 the s197' where easy to modify as this looks like it will be a whole different ball game. save your self the trouble and just buy one.
