Default Denali Front Conversion/Seats

Have any of you guys converted a late model GMC Sierra to a Denali front end? ie Grille Shroud, Grille, Bumper Cover, Headlights, Turn Lamps and all that? I am looking to do this to my '04 Sierra I am having trouble finding parts to do it. I know there is a distinctive difference in the Grille Shroud of the Denali and the Sierra and I am having an especially hard time finding this piece. I found some bumper covers on Ebay. Do yall know how those install? Do they litterally go right over a stock Sierra front bumper or is there something behind it that has to be replaced too? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly does anyone know a good place to get some Denali Seats? I would especially like to find Sierra Denali seats because I think the Rear Sierra Denali seat would be a direct bolt in to my extended cab.

I thought the frame was the same from 99 to 03 because I remember some people asking about going from an 01 sierra front end to an 03 sierra front. Guess not.
Silverchado (or anyone else) Could you take pics of the frame horns on your 04? I'm curious as to what the difference is.
There's a list of all the part numbers in the part number thread for the conversion. The bumper cover will not fit right over the sierra bumper, you need the denali bumper for it to work.

Crap I would have never thought that GM, the kings of proprietary manufacturing and engineering would make something as simple as frame horns adverse to their other trucks. Thats rediculous. Well if anyone else knows anything about this I would really like to know. I definately am not going to do any cutting or welding on a truck that is under warranty, so if it's not bolt up its going to have to wait till the warranty runs out.

i heard they are changing the denali in 06 so perhaps then it will be direct swap for 03's and what not......... ??
