Default 03 Bumper Conversion For Bugeye

Ok, So im thinking about getting a 03 rear bumper & tail lights and doing the conversion to update the back of the car.....also the bumper is covered in scratches etc.

Now im wondering is it a straight swap for this to happen or is it a pain in the ass and not overly worth it.

Opinions/Experiences?!

cheers!

That's right, my Japanese car has yellow fever! What's your cars excuse?

But seriously I know you love the bugness about your car, and if you need to re-do the rear anyway as its all scratched etc, and it turns out it isn't overly difficult or expensive then it will make it look 10 zillion times better!
