so the big question is this... If you had an 04-05 and it was damaged on the bumper (as mine is now) would you change it to the 06? I've debated it because I like the Aftermarket grills that are becoming available alot more for the 06 model...

So, whats our favorite front end? 04-05 or 06?

i got to looking at it and it looks as though you'd have to swap the hood too to get a full 06 look...

The raised center section closest to the grill on an 04-05 looks more pronounced than the 06 model, anybody got any closups of the hood lines?

Thank u.
i like the front end of the '06 but not the inside. on the '06 it doesn't look like you can use the Orbital Prestige 2-DIN Conversion, becuase of the hazzard light button

I ran by the nearest dealer to me (45 minutes away) and looked at the hoods on the 06 model... They are Identical to the 04-05 model... So you could just add the 06 bumper and grill for an updated look... I may just do it...

yeah the 06 bumpers I like because they have no center grill piece and i think the bottom gap is one big one all the way across the bottom rather than 3

just a heads up, the outside might be identical but the inside mount clips etc might be different. I havent checked but if you're seriously considering I suggest you check that out!

personally I think the 04-05 model has a more aggressive look to it.

yeah, just stick with the 04-05 front bumper. But then again, the 06 bumper does looks good if your car is black or silver IMO. Other than that, the 04-05 one does have a more agressive look.
