i have an 02 and i need to know the difference between the two front bumper beams. was in accident and need to replace the bumper beam and i figured i'll do the 04 conversion as well, so what i really wanted to know is if the 04 bumper beam will fit my 02, so that i wont have to worry about cutting the 02 beam corners. does the 04 front reinforcement beam bolt up the same way as the 02 or is better to just get the 02 beam and cut the corners for the conversion. thanks in advance

 

I cant back this up with a citation, but I am pretty sure the AP2 bumper beam bolts right up to the AP1 unibody. I believe it is only the beam itself that is different, not the mounting points.

Im sure someone else can pipe in with a more certain post, but I think that will be your answer

 

thanks. can anybody else verify this

 

If you there is a full write up on all things that can swap from AP2-AP1.

 

if you read what i asked then you would see that the f.a.q.'s don't have any information pertaining to: if i want to install a 04+ reinforcement beam on my 02 will it be a direct bolt on or not......there always has to be one in the group

 

My Apologies Sir - I thought that it might would give you some pictures to help you out.

 

2002:

 

no worries, tried looking thru faqs about conversion and i just see pics of 00-03 bumper beams. just hoping someone had there 04+ with there bumper off and had a pic lying around to post

 

Then you may want to edit your title. My suggestion of reading the faq answered the first part, and look where it got me.

 

thanks just need an 04+ now
