I would like to trade fronts with someone. I got a 02 GXE. Would like the 04-06 front.

To switch from a 02 > 04 front end you will need these parts, I recommend having a donor car to use, because it is very expensive to purchase the parts outright. Just reverse what you need to swap from 04 > 02
1: Front bumper
2: Hood
3: Lights
4: Light sockets
5: Inner Bumper supports
6: Fog Lights
7: Radiator Support Brackets
First you remove the lights, and you need to cut the sockets off. You need to swap those, dont forget to leave enough room to be able to attach the socket to another car.
Second go ahead and remove the bumper. Also remove the hood and fog lights
Third remove the radiator support brackets, the bumper supports and the foam insert.
Thats all you will need to do, to do the swap. Heres a photo I took with the radiator supports and bumper support pieces circled.
