    '03 Corolla and Matrix front end the same?

    Are the front end parts (front bumper, bumper cover, grill, radiator, radiator support, a/c condenser, fenders, etc) interchangable between the '03 Corolla and the '03 Matrix?

    as far as I know the hardware radiator chassies and stuff like that are the same but the bumper is diffrent and so is the grill. correct me if I'm wrong but engine parts will all fit both and body parts are car specific.

    I know the engine no unless you have a supra but i think the body is the same mounts because they are almost the same car. might need some modifications. I know the interior will work with some cutting, cause when I worked at lexus we did a swap with an 03 rolla.

    The bodies arn't the same but the chassies is so the mounts are there on both of them to have them work with eachother hoods etc. there would have to be alot of cutting but It would mount correctly

    Hm, are the Matrix headlights the same? I wanted to get some eyelids for my Corolla, but all I could find are some for the Matrix.
