lol I think you're right, now would the 09 bumper bolt of to the 05? or is there a difference between the rad supports? If it's going to get too deep into swapping headlights, fenders, hood etc. then scratch that idea
As far as I know, you will need the Bumper, Fenders and the signals on the new fenders(may need rewiring). You can go to Mazdatrix's website for more details.

Subscribing in case someone with deep pockets wants to do a DIY
The conversion is fairly expensive as well. If someone really wanted the look of the S2 then they would be better off selling their car and purchasing the newer model. Or try to find someone to swap with.
I doubt I'll be getting that deep into it, maybe further down the road but I've only had it for 2 weeks lol. I'll just look into front lips and front grill kits, all I want is to give it a more aggressive appearance when I get suspension. The chin spoiler on mazdatrix kinda tingles me.
RE-A makes a kit that resembles the r3 front. IMHO i had a 09 sport and vomited at the sight of the front bumper.... blegh i hate the smiley face.
oh you should prob search, i wont but expect to be flamed for not searching, this is generic knowlage and one would hope to know what the front of their car looks, especially enough to notice the headlight difference.
I like the mazdaspeed front and sides but just can't come up with why I would spend that much on body pieces when I rather improve performance and handling. Wish I could because the car looks fly as ever with the mazdaspeed kit. Kinda wish more people sold parts in this area on this forum. There's some things I would buy used.

^ I agree, someone should come out with a S1 bumper that bolts up to an S2, now that would be interesting.
Though you cant have a s1 bumper compatible with a s2, they are different around the fenders and lights. A s1 style bumper that fits on a s2 is what i think you mean.
wanted to do this before my 09 went byebye.
pretty easy to mod a s1 bumper to a s2, though its still gonna be 900-1k+ even when using a replica bumper.
Well, I don't know what 1000 in Malyasia people money is lmao. So you're most likely onto something. I just looked at the carbon page again and saw that it wasn't US currency.
You can use Google for a quick check on the differences in currency. For instance I searched, "1000 RM to USD", which resulted in, "1000 Malaysian ringgits = 319.0300 US dollars".
