Would anyone know if 06 sides will fit 04?

As with the thread title said.
I just like the look of the 2006 sides that came with the car, not the optional side skirt, and was wondering if it'll fit.
I just gave a call to Acura and they said it's a different part number but from looking at it I think it's possible to fit it into 2004 but I just need someone who has access to schematic drawings if they could compare it for me.
It would be great if any 2006 around IL would like the meet up and see if it's swappable.
Thanks

It looks a bit different if you ask me.
It looks like Euro-R sides but the position where the clips would go looks to be the same.

They are different, but should fit. As the 06 front end should fit on the 05. The frame is the same, but the side bumper and side skirts are different. They are a different part number because the exterior is different, but the mounts should be the same.

The frame is unchanged and since the side skirts are always completely swapped out, it should work just fine.

I don't think the bumpers are a direct fit, the mounting points/holes are located slightly differently from what I recall, and that's also why the 06 Mugen bumper wouldn't fit on the 04/05's.

As for the side skirts, I'm not sure, but I think it has a higher chance of having the same mounting points and holes...

I can't say if its the holes, but the lights, hood and fenders will all keep a 06 bumper from going on a 04/05
