hmm well they are two different molds. i think the 05 and 06 is much longer in the middle so you would have to hack that part. the headlights part would be different as well, and the grille portion. all in all, lot of work

Slightly more curves on the tailights and the grill. I would just get an aftermarket bumper, just easier in my opinion.

^+1 you would end up hacking up the bumper or would have to do a 05-06 front end conversion which in my opinion is NOT worth it

What about the Nismo bumper for the 03-04's. Probably the most attractive front bumper to have even been put on a G sedan.

As far as your question goes, I'm unsure how much work would have to be put in to make the 05-06 bumper fit, but I doubt it would be worth the trouble.



Best Regards,

I wondered this when I first got my 03 in Feb. At first, I liked the 05 much better than mine... then I saw the Nismo, the more I looked at both of them, I really like the Nismo, and don't much care for the 05/06 anymore. I would say just go aftermarket (Nismo replica, KuRookie, or maybe the Strafe)

I'm not a fan of the 05+ front bumper it looks alright with the lip, but still not really worth the upgrade.

If I was going to convert my front end it would be a G coupe conversion or a Z conversion.
