Need help with installing TSX 04 bumper on TSX 06.
Hello everyone.
My car (TSX 06) got into accident and i needed to replace my front bumper. By mistake i ordered a bumper from 05, cause i didnt know that they are different. Now i am stuck with dilemma - what should i do to make this car look correct? I literally have no clue would be it enough to just order an old TSX 04 Grill to, or i need to buy something else?
I hope there's good ways to fix my problem withour changing hood.

I dont know will be it enough for me to get grill from TSX 04, or should i replace hood too? That's the main problem.

The 04/05 hoods have the metal trim piece on the front/center of the hood that was move down to the the front bumper grill on the 06-08 bumpers. I wouldn't know how the +06 fogs will fit into the 04/05 fog housing? You can always upgrade the center grill to the Mugen brand and delete the fogs if those don't fit or looks a little off?

@mrgold35, this Mugen grill on photo fits not perfectly as i see?
I can't interchange foglights between 06 and 04 bumpers, but i already got them from Accord bumper, this is not issue.
My main issue - good grill and hood. I found this 2004 2005 Acura TSX Grill Grille W/ Chrome Molding GB-HDA7000A | eBay .
Is ther anyway to install New Hood Molding Trim Moulding Chrome Acura TSX 2004-2005 AC1235100 75120SEA003 | eBay on 06 hood?

What everybody else said about the differences between the front ends is correct. My advice for you is to do the following: If you care about staying true oem sell that bumper and buy the correct one. If you want to make that one work you'll have to convert to the 04/05. Really the only things you'll need are the 04/05 grill, radiator cover and fog lights. Many 04/05 owners actually buy hoods from 06+ to get rid of the chrome trim so I'd say don't worry about the hood. Other then that from what I know everything else shouldn't be a problem.

Not a lot of options with a car that came out in 2003. Going to have to spend a lot of time, money, and/or labor if you don't go with the original OEM bumper unless that is the look you are going for.
