Default Front clip swap

How difficult would it be to do this?

Swap from 8th gen to a 9th gen front clip?

you just need fender, hood, core support, headlights, grille, bumper. pretty much the whole front end from a 9th gen. then just swap the panels. pretty straight forward, just time consuming kinda.
