zisforzachary Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 This may be a stupid question but 2005 and 2009 LGT bumpers are different correct? Can you put an 09 bumper on an 05 LGT without any serious modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Need new headlights, fenders, grill, and bumper, but it's doable! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisforzachary Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 i knew it! if i may ask @docholladay23 what exactly are the most noticeable differences between the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I'm a big fan of the 08-09 front ends, they have larger grills, different shaped headlights, and some nice lines on the fenders. And the bumper itself looks more like a JDM spec.B bumper. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!!

zisforzachary Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 What about rear bumber/trunk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leviman Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I believe the rear bumper goes up further into the taillight area than the 05-07 ones. At least that's what I've noticed from just looking at 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nospmoht04 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 This would be pretty damn expensive for what you're getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Rear bumper only requires the bumper cover and tail lights, everything else is the same. I agree though, it's pretty damn spendy but if I ever got into an accident that destroyed the front end I would consider swapping it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!!

nospmoht04 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 but if I ever got into an accident that destroyed the front end I would consider swapping it. That's what I was thinkin, the only way I'd do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosAngelesLGT Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I hate the later rear end. The bumper is busy and ricey. Much prefer the later front end. More snub nose and cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 If you can find the pictures I've posted here of my 05 and 09 side by side you can see the differences. I can't post them from work. They are in the picture forum too.

zisforzachary Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 yeahI really like the 09 front end. Hopefully someone will back into me or have their car slide back in the next snow storm... I REALLY like the trunk on the 09 too. not too keen on the bumper though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Catalyst. Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Trunk is the same through the 4th gen. including post facelift (08-09). I'd go with JDM parts if an accident occurred that took the front bumper, fenders, grill etc. Planning on a JDM rear bumper anyhow. My spec.B [#163] Project Thread with Pictures Get CryoTuned!

nospmoht04 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 A front lip and lowering springs cured my front bumper in the sky look. It may work for you too. Also costs about $300 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac88 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Im getting quote for part this week (yay for working in a body shop!) If I only need headlights. fenders, grille and bumper then I'm going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leke Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't forget the headlight brackets and fog lights. You'll also need the bumper brackets that mount onto the fender as well. I'm having some difficulty confirming whether the fender liners are the same from 05-07 to 08-09. I'm sure you can make the stock ones work if they aren't the same.
