I currently own a 04' RX-8 which im going to trade on
a 09' model... I loved the 09' model, it has a nav system add on
and a whole lot of things my 04' doesnt but what i didnt like about it
is the front end, which kinda killed the car because the older one
looked much better, so im wondering if anyone thinks theres
a way i could change the front bumper on the 09' to a 04'.
Also, i was comparing the bumpers and i noticed the shape is a little different
and the headlights have gotten a bit sleek and larger,
will that be a problem or i could have a collision center
work on the bumper so it fits the 09' with out having
to change anything else...

Thanks...

 

won't fit without a lot of work by a bodyshop. The side marker will also present some problems.
It's probably not worth it, leave it as is, it might eventually grow on you. (I know the 09 looks better every time I see it)

 

I dont think they are inter-changeable. That would mean all previous body kits made for the rx8 would fit the newer version rx8's also. Why dont you just mod your 04 like crazy? All those things like Nav and whatever could be bought easily and placed in the car. Hope that helped

 

I would assume it would be fenders, hood, bumper and lights. Not worth it.

 

you might find someone who wants to do a swap to make theirs look 'newer' - that would be the cheapest way to do it, or buy the front body off a rear end wreck.

i don't know if anyone can say it will work without modification for sure~
