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.

You should be fine. You need fog light covers, your original grill and the Weight may or may not fit but try it. Modify it if you can get away with it. If not replace with 04.

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.
