Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can anyone tell me if a 2003 rear bumper will fit on a 2001??

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bumping to see if anyone can chime in

POST 3Original post

It will fit, but you would be left with an unsightly gap behind your spoiler since the 03 spoiler lid is larger than the 01 spoiler lid. Therefore, to make it look right, you'd have to also find an 03 spoiler lid assembly.

POST 4Original post

the gap is not bad, I have a pic I'll show you

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Please do post a pic if you don't mind. Thanks!

POST 6Original post

I'd like to see the gap myself...if you need an '03-'04 lid let me know. I'll check the local salvage yard for ya.
