I have a 2012 Mazda 2 Sport hatch. Always been a fun car but i hate the “smiley” facelift. I would just find an older one but its been extremely hard to find one for sale so far. Is there any way i could swap the front end with a 2007 one? it would look so much nicer.

 

Your profile indicates that you are in Arkansas. The 2 was only sold in the USA for 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014. You ain't going to find anything older here. The one possibility is a Toyota/Mazda/2/Yaris. It is a next gen Mazda 2 and it would take considerable effort to make the swap. And, IMHO, would result in a much more unattractive vehicle. Put some lights on the front to disguise the grin, if it bothers you that much. My 2013's grin is adorable. Wouldn't change it.
