Hi, I have a 2008 TSX and I would like to change the front bumper to the 2004-2005 bumper, I know this question was answered before but relatively there was no concrete answer anywhere.

I would like to know what parts would I need to make this conversion complete. Is the 2004-2005 front bumper cover direct fitment to the 2008 TSX body style or does there modification needed?

I understand I would need the following, please correct me if I am wrong:

1) 2004-2005 TSX bumper cover. I saw one on eBay for $180 shipped

2) JDM Radiator cover? If so, where can I buy one?

3) Fog lights

4) Grille?

Any other parts I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

Pretty sure you'd have to replace everything forward of the front doors (including the windshield).

 

For just the bumper? I believe all you need is the bumper and grille. For the fog lights you should be able to use your original wiring

 

You'd need a new hood too. 04 has the chrome trim on the nose of the hood

 

You might be able to upgrade the 04-05 OEM Grill to Mugen and you might not need the 04-05 hood with metal trim. Not 100% sure:

Random Pic from internet, metal strip was painted white:

 

You will be fine. Just need to get a 04/05 bumper,grille, and rad cover.
