Anyone good at Photoshop?

I'm wondering what it would look like with the ION Coupe front clip on a sedan? Actually I don't know if the parts would even fit.

Given that Saturn made first gen S series coupes with the sedan front end(the original SC1), it seems probable that an SC2 nose could be transplanted into an SL/SW2... But I would only venture to guess that would work up to 95...

1st gen SC2's have the flip up headlights, so SC2 front to SLx front would be most unlikely to work since the profile of the sc2 nose piece is curved throughout meaning ir does not level off under the headlights. In fact it does not go under the headlights --- the lights fold down into pockets in the frame, so there was no need for the headlight recess present in the Sx1 design. Headlights are pretty much a caged in frame deal.

The above would require more than just a nosepiece change per goalie if it WAS going to work; if you're gonna replace all that jazz to make it work, you can of course remove the headlight motors come, but I don't know if/how the frame support portion that they rotate on is easily removed let alone transferred

Maybe topanga needs a facelift? IRL front end swap FtW!(yes I realize the above picture is of a regular quad coupe bumper)

Actually I could envision building my moms base model, IRL bumper, side skirts(if they fit) and some sort of rear bumper, and placing a nasty cammed L61/LE5 hybrid in there with an F35 trans...
