does anyone know why 02-03 rear half bumpers don't fit on the 04 WRXs? or do they? the back bumper looks the same to me other than the the cutouts for the new tailights. i can't find any 04 half bumpers (or full bumpers for that matter) that i like. what the difference between the old and the new stock bumper? thanks...

 

what exactly is a half bumper?

 

by half bumper, i mean a lower valence panel that attaches to the bottom of the bumper (as opposed to replacing the whole bumper).

 

oh... a lip.

 

ahh ok. If you look at the shape of the bottoms of the 02-3 and the 04 i believe that they are shaped a little different... kinda like how sedan stuff doesnt fit on wagons

 

04 is more rounded in the rear. Here is an 03.
