You mean the new 07 body style? I saw one over on fullsize chevy with a new Tahoe front clip hacked onto it, but boy did it look terrible.

There were a lot of problems with width and body lines. The front bumper and grille had to be sectioned/narrowed to fit, which made the license plate holder look like ***. The body lines didn't line up. I'm trying to find the thread over on GMFS...those guys tore him a new ******* for his attempted conversion....hence the term "boyetted"...
