06 Bumper on an 04 worth the swap?

Hey guys, after recently being in a little 5mph fender bender, i have to get a new bumper. My question is i really want lower fog lights. Is it better/possible to swap the 06 bumper on my 04, or just stick with the OEM 04 bumper and get the accord kit? I also plan on buy the A-spec kit as well. Thanks for any input in advance! -Roger

Lower fogs started with 07, not sure if it's a direct fit.

Bumper is a direct fit. Fog lights for the bumper are about $300 IIRC.

It's probably not worth it.

A new bumper will cost you around $250 primed. It will cost about $300 to paint it, about $300 for fogs, and about $150 in misc. parts. Easily $1K+ for the whole swap.

Just get the Accord fog kit.

If you really want it, I'm sure you can get it without paying a dime (from their or your insurance).

The 07-08 bumper is a direct fit, but most of the grill parts will have to be replaced and you will have to buy fogs.
