I think you need 05-06 headlights, front bumper, tail lights, and maybe fenders (correct me if I'm wrong). That's what I found out by searching the forum.

The issue will be getting the 05/06 headlights...they are extremely expensive. Other than that once you have the headlights all you need is the grille and front bumper. I have the 05/06 rear bumper on my 03/04...its a straight swap and so are the sideskirts. I'd recommend getting a nismo kit for your 03/04, probably cost less and look better

I'm pretty sure you need to swap out the hood too, if you do 05-06 bumper and grille.

If you want it to look newer, a good detailing is the best.

Get projectors done. Swap the bumper. Do the tail lights and call it a day. Unless u plan to spend a few k on parts/paint then go for it

By the time you buy all the parts,and paint it, you could probably sell your car and buy an 05/06
