K2e2vin Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Does anyone know if an 08-09 front-end(bumper, headlights, fenders) will bolt up to a 05-07 front? If it does, are there any small bits and pieces I will need? I need to replace my bumper, and prefer the way the 08-09 looks anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongo804 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Headlights, fenders, bumper, bumper beam, foam absorber, grill, headlight brackets, fogs, custom pig tail for fogs.. Pretty sure that's everything. Ask me how I know.. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2e2vin Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Is it just the connectors that are different for the fogs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blongo804 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 It's an entire different set up.. The connectors are not only different, but the 05-07 uses a jumper cable and the 08-09 plugs directly into the main harness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2e2vin Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Thank you very much! Now I know what to look for, I just need to find a 08-09 with a wrecked rear end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 blongo804, did you really do a complete swap? if yes, pics of your car please . I'd love to do that too to my 05. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boostedgrocerygetter Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Not that the 08-09s don't look good but man I could find a better way to spend $1000+. Why not go with a jdm spec b bumper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2e2vin Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 Because I'm sure I can get a complete 08-09 front end cheaper than a JDM unit. I can play "the waiting game" for 08-09 parts while JDM stuff I'm stuck with getting it from a distributor(even then I've seen them go for about $1000/piece).

careercadaver Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I recently had a fender bender with my 05 and have opted to go for the 08/09 front end myself. I have gathered a list of part numbers in case anyone else was looking to convert or may have landed in the same boat as I did and wanted to have all new. Bumper Cover - 57704AG30A Grille - 91121AG20A Grille Emblem - 91035A032 Headlights - ® 84001AG50B (L) 84001AG50A Headlight Brackets - ® 57707AG13A (L) 57707AG14A Foglights - ® 84913FE260 (L) 84913FE270 Foglight Covers - ® 57731AG36 (L) 57731AG37 Tow Hook Cover - 57731AG95A Fenders - ® 57110AG12A9P (L) 57110AG13A9P Bumper Beam - 57712AG36A Bumper Absorber - 57705AG23A Corner Supports - ® 57707AG19A (L) 57707AG20A Cover Air Intake - 57731AG98A Not certain every part on this list was needed for the conversion and please feel free to chime in or correct me if that's the case and I will remove it from this post, and my list to the body shop. Just trying to make this thread more usable...especially since I'm digging it up a bit... Headlights, fenders, bumper, bumper beam, foam absorber, grill, headlight brackets, fogs, custom pig tail for fogs.. Pretty sure that's everything. Ask me how I know.. Lol Can you elaborate on the pig tails for the fogs? I assume you used the 08+ connector and repined it to work with the 05 wiring? Was there anything out of ordinary with the headlamps? The wiring looked a little different in there as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
