6th gen to 5th gen front fascia conversion
I know it's not for everybody. But anybody have done it? Or anybody offering a conversion kit?

It will never physically fit unless someone re-molds the 6th Gen style to fit the 5th Gen chassis. Otherwise, if you have learned/read anything about the differences between the two platforms, the 6th is much physically smaller than the 5th Gen. You're not gonna magically stretch a bumper cover and fascia to fit a physically larger car. And the mounting points are completely different to boot. IF it were feasible, then it would have to be the hood, front bumper cover, fascia, fenders, lights basically the whole front end minus chassis bits. Definitely not worth it. Just sell/trade for a 6th already.

I agree no one has done it because they can't have you looked up anything about the 6th gen

There is less than an inch difference in the overall width of a Gen 5 and 6, Gen 6 being about .875" narrower 75.125" vs 76.010" according to Chevrolet specs. I am not sure of the difference dimensionally of the actual bumper covers. A good custom body shop with fabricating experience can easily make it fit but it's not going to be cheap....pretty much anything can be done for a price.

Anything is possible with enough money. The thing is that you're going to have to do a lot of fabrication to make the 6th gen front end fit and even then it may not even look that good.
