Everything else is most definitely not "the same".
As other have said, Although the bolt holes for the tops of the fenders and the top of the bumper are the same and the headlights are the same, literally every other piece of bodywork, the undertray itself, all of the ducting for behind the bumper, and even the inner wheel well liners are all going to be specific to the GT500 and it's coolers which are not going to be 100% compatible with the cooling package on the GT350.
Can it be done? Sure. But you're going to have thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours and months of time sunk into this project just to make your GT350 look like a GT500. Sure you could half ass it and rig some stuff up with zip ties and sheets of ABS plastic to try and fill the gaps, but at what cost to proper functionality and devaluation of the car in the future?
Honestly your best bet is to find a GT500 that's been totaled in a rear end collision and purchase the fenders, hood, bumper, and everything else they bolt to to have a chance of getting this done and not having it look like a disaster under the skin.
