Changing the front fascia

Apologies if this is a redundant post - I searched, but didn't find this anywhere.
I'm wondering if it's possible to transplant a 2003/4 front fascia onto a 2005 Vibe. Or, maybe more to the point, is it not impossible?
Thanks

Welcome! The 03/04 nose, as far as I know, should fit right up to an 05+. It's a two-piece bumper, but that doesn't affect mounting. I would be surprised if it hasn't been done before.
Good luck with your swap!

Just curious as to why you're wanting to swap from an 03-04 to the 05-08 nose
You may find a member here @ GenVibe willing to trade you even up. I know if I had the 05-08 nose I'd be willing to trade for the 03-04 as it looks sportier. Others in the past mentioned doing such a thing but it's been a while since I've read anything like this. Good luck!

Many thanks for the replies.
I currently have an 05 and, while I love her dearly, I think the front looks just a little too big (like a fat lip). Seen some other pictures of 03/04 Vibes that are the same color and their front looks a lot better (IMHO).

This is also something I've pondered. I'd love to see how it works out, if i ever need to replace mine id look into this
