I would not do it based on the painting the car issue, if it was a straight swap color matched and all I would definitley say yes But not if you have to spend $1K or more for body work and paint

No problem, as far as the headlights go I think you will have to get an adapter or even be able to switch wiring harnesses that go to the lights. I am not certain, but I can at least try. I know when I did a 4 cyl to V8 swap on my mustang I had to switch the wiring harness that plugged into the alternator and headlights. I think 04/05 headlights are 9004 Style Bulbs, and 06/07 headlights are 9006. So either swapping the harnesses or adapter kits are in order.

Are you still thinking baout doing the swap??? If so how much is the paint going to set you back?
