Bumper cover questions

Hi Folks,

Some parking lot schmuck gashed the front bumper on my 03 last weekend and I need to replace the cover. I was thinking this is a good opportunity to trade up since I need a new cover, paint, etc., anyway. I like the look of the 05 front covers and want to go with that or something similar.

So my questions are:
1. Does a newer model (i.e. 05) bumper cover fit the brackets on an 03?
2. If yes, anyone have an 05 stock cover you’re looking to get rid of?
3. If not, any suggestions on similar-look covers?

Thanks!

An '05 bumper cover will NOT fit an '03. You could get the Aero bumper cover, it's much more sporty.

I have another bumper cover question..however, this relates to my rear bumper. Take a look at the pics...does this look like it just needs the bumper cover replaced? Would it be better to have this repaired..or should I just buy new bumper? Thanks in advance for the opinions and help! Also, sorry about the pic quality..was incredibly bright out

First, is your camera lens fogged up? lol

Second, I think you can get that easily repaired.
