Default Front Bumper Cover Interchange Question

2003 EX-L 3.0L V6 Sedan

I searched but couldn't find the answer to this question.

Will the front bumper cover from the same car with fog lights fit correctly on one without?
A guy is parting out his car which matches mine exactly except for his has fogs. The bumper cover is $35 which is a smokin' deal! I just want to make sure there won't be a fitment issue before I buy it. I may or may not hook the fogs up at some point in the future but for now, I just need to replace my bumper and a new one painted the correct color is over $300!

Thanks!!

I can't say for sure, but I am 98% sure it will. I just highly highly highly doubt they changed any of the mounting points and such.

I would buy it. On the extremely off chance I am wrong at least its only $35.

But I can almost guarantee it'll fit, I just haven't heard of anyone actually doing it.

Well, I picked up the used bumper cover yesterday and installed it last night. The two bumper covers are indeed interchangeable as evidenced by the pic below.

I have ordered a bunch of various parts for this car over the past couple of weeks including the fender which I would have loved to have been able to get painted prior to installing it on the car but the wife and daughter just couldn't take another day of it looking like a skeleton so.....

I got the fender from RockAuto.com. It was only $46.00 and came primered. The cost of one already painted was ridiculous non matter where I looked for one.
The guys at RockAuto packaged the fender in a box big enough to fit a refrigerator! Suffice it to say you could have fit at least half a dozen of those little fenders in it!

That looks like an 06-07 front bumper. I think you would need the 06-07 grill to go with it.
