Is there any extra requirements to put a 09+ front bumper on a 05? I require a new front bumper and the price for the re-manufactured 09 bumper is the same as my 05. Any input would be Great thanks!

it cannot possibly happen

xun4gvn4everx, the OP wants to put on a FACTORY 09 bumper. The one you showed was a replica 09 for pre 09 cars.

hoss-05, you will need to also buy the front fenders and probably some support equipment as well. Just get the factory 05 bumper and save your money to buy a real body kit if you wants one.

You will need quite I bit I suspect, fenders, bumper, headlights, wiring for headlights. (If you don't want to hack apart the current wiring and buy the sockets as well since the lighting, no sidemarkers and parking light separate on 09) as well as some other minor things I would think. Just get your 05 bumper or now is a great time to get a painted MS bumper ;)

I also don't think this is possible without a lot of fabrication. Nevertheless, the replica does look alright.
