cmikles Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Is is possible to swap out bumper skins for 2005-2007 models to the 2008-2009 front bumper? Comments? I know the headlights would have to be swapped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subiedad51 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I had loked into doing this and I'm pretty sure you need everything forward of the doors. Fenders, Lights, Bumper, Hood, Grill. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure a JDM swap is easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KartRacerBoy Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Why would you want to do this? I think the earlier look is much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmikles Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yeah opinions I guess, I just like the curves more I think on the front. And yeah JDM swap is much cheaper lol! I'll prob just go that route. I also dont like how my Front mount peaks behind my 05 bumper. Its lame....the JDM Spec B looks way better. I don't think I'll ever understand why car companies make their JDM or Europe cars look way better than the USDM versions....hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosAngelesLGT Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 So I take it you dig the snub-nose look. EDIT: I too prefer the 07+ bumper/hood (I can go either way with lights) but the 05-06 rear hands down. Not saying to mix and match or change anything, just what I like.

cmikles Posted February 7, 2011 Author Share Posted February 7, 2011 think I'll opt for a front lip instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 I like the 07+ look also. The earlier ones look too slanty or something. Maybe it's the big grille. BUT, I do like the hood bulges on the 05/06 Outbacks.
