03 front conversion HELP!!!!!

Hi, I have an 03 wrx, I love the car and got it for a great price. The only thing is I like the 04 front ends better. What would it take to convert the different year models and where would i go to get a front clip. Any information is appriciated.

the part number for the upper radiator support between the 02' and 04' are the same. and so is the front bumper support. so all you should need is the hood, fenders headlights and front bumper. i just bought a salvage bugeye and i am converting it to 04'. when i went to the dealer to see what i needed they told me it was all the same stuff.

I think all you guys would have to do is cut out the rad suports and swap them (weld them in) that sould be it. that and probly rewire the headlights I have not goten that far on my car yet but I think they are diferent

dont cut any thing! you just unbolt the fenders bumber hood lights andRADIATOR SUPPORTswap and then spot weld for some extra support cause not all the screws match up.
