Car 1: 02 rsx type-S
05-06 rsx rear end...

hey guys whats up! havent been on for a while, how is everyone doin? ok, so i have a question does anyone know if i can swap the ass-end of my 02 RSX for one off of an 05-06? i really like the newer body styling in the rear but i prefer the 02 front end. the bumper is going to be aftermarket anyways or at least with some sort of ground effects( anything i do will be subtle to the max of course i am trying very hard to avoid rice. what i really want are the taillights. anyone with feedback hit me up. and please dont hesitate to tell me if im making a mistake. its just an idea right now and i am way open to suggestions and critique.

same thing on the other thread.


if you want the 05-06 rear bumper for your 02, you might need to replace your taillights. since, the bottom of the 02-04 taillights ain't straight. it has the curves on the bottom. see pic below.

02-04


05-06

It is possible, but I don't think it's as easy as just getting the bumper and tail lights from the 05-06... probably will need a little fabrication. Your best bet would be to find someone with an 05-06 who would be willing to spend a day taking their rear bumper/tail lights off and seeing if they will fit on yours before you buy anything.

It's been done, but like Kev said, you would want to make sure what you'll have to do before buying anything.
