    Default 02/03 to 04+ Front End Swap

    Written By: duesMANdella

    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.
