Bumper compatibility... '03 - '04 STi

Last night some **** took out my rear bumper. Foam is all good, just the plastic is messed up. I found someone selling an '03 STi rear bumper, anyone know if it will fit an '04 STi?

Ok, let's assume that it's a WRX bumper and the person who wrote up the ad doesn't know exactly what they're selling. '03 WRX bumper fit on an '04 STi?

It will fit, but there is a little "bump" on the 2004+ taillights, so the bumper will need to be modded.

This is driving me crazy... I look at the bumper and it looks exactly like my (just not all screwed up). Here's an image of it:

The bumper cover in that picture is an '04. You can see the indentation where the circle part of the '04 taillights go.

'03 bumpers are a bit more square (that is, not as rounded) as the '04 bumpers. Also, the notch for the tail lights is missing in the '03. You'll have trouble getting it to fit, regardless if it's from an '03 WRX or even a JDM '03 STi.

Well, I "won" the auction (I was the only bidder). So $99 + $90 S&H from City of Industry, CA. Should be getting it soon.
