thats a ton of money for the parts and labor. You would need all the parts, but if you thinkabout it, thats almost a quarter of the price of a new car.

Call your local dealer and see if they can quote you the price of the parts, and Im sure a body shop could do the fitting for you. Its possible the bodyshop would be able to do everything too ( parts and install )

it would probably be cheaper to trade your 03 in for an 04.

unless u find an 04 that has been hit really hard from the rear.

it wouldn't be cheaper cuz you have to pay everything off before you trade it in... so it'll jus be more of a waste of money

Call me old fashioned but I think you should stick with the '03 front. I'm not a big fan of the new style.
