worth swapping to 03-04 rear from 05-06 since i got a nismo lip

I wanted your guys opinions and im very torn.

I got a 05 sedan. I <3 the nismo rears and after searching for 8 months I was finally able to purchase the rear lip.


My story is, I was in a little fender bender a month ago and had to get a new rear bumper, with my luck I couldn't find the nismo lip in time so they just got me a new 05-06 rear bumper and its painted fresh right now, ( only if I found the lip sooner I would have told them to put the 03-04).


So in your opinion would it be worth your time/ money to either buy a 03-04 bumper and put the lip on? or try to trade someone bumper and put the lip on or just keep the 05-06 rear.


I love how its more aggressive, but the 05-06 in a lot of peoples eyes is cleaner( from thos that I asked) since it basically is the nismo lip molded to the bumper.


let me know what you guys think......

if anyone is trying to swap bumpers let me know Im DG
if I decide to keep my rear bumper then ill have a nismo lip for sale soon.

I would do exactly as G SEDAN said and trade your mudguards with the 03-04 owner as well. This will ensure proper fitment of the rears on both cars.

A straight trade would be fair... don't get me wrong, the 05/06 is nice, but IDK if I would be willing to do cash+work on top :/

You should be able to find someone to do a trade with you.

What color is yours?

It's newly painted, 03-04 are likely to have wear and tear. 03-04 guys also would love to get rid of the black bottoms (no homo), so straight trade would be a great deal on behalf of the 03-04 guy.
