Question Will the front bumper on the 02k TL fit the 2k TL?

If so then custom fog are only a order and a few clips and screws away. Let me know.

Probably will be too big of a hole left from the '02 massive grill opening. Judging from the evolution, the next redesigned TL should be able to have a civic park comfortably inside it's grill.

I think you will have some problems with the headlight matching the bumper. You will end up with a gap where the headlight dips down.

Judging from these photos, its look like the two lower bumpers are identical.

Funny, I live in Laurel, and I have a '00 WDP w/nav. However, I have the factory body kit and spoiler.

Small world.

But do you see where the headlights have a little round buldge at the bottom? We dont have that in the 2k TL. So you will have a gap in that area.

Yeah, yes do that (get together). I ordered my kit from hondaacuraparts.com and installed myself...big savings compared to dealer's cost. Question: If the bumpers are interchangeable, would you do it? Man, I'm certainly thinking about it. Only hesitation is that I just put on set of aftermarket light and had my current bumper repainted. Do you know if the '02 TLs will come in WDP color? Surely could not buy the bumper and have it painted to match.

I would if it was reasonably priced. The 2002 does come with the WDP color. But not sure if fog lights are that important to me.

Question

Is it just me that think this will work? Maybe we would just have to change the headlights to fill in that little bubble/dimple PhiTL referred to. I don't know, maybe I want custom fogs to badly?

If you change the headlights, you 'might' have to change the hood and quarter panels. The slight angle in the headlights can create some unsightly gaps.

To me the 2002 front bumper is ugly and I wouldn't want it just for the fog lights. But considering it looks like a CL front bumper with the indention for the headlights...wouldn't you have a better chance of getting a CL front bumper to fit on the 2000TL? I could be tottally wrong here, because if it is possible you guys would probably done it already.
