Looking to do a 2004+ front end conversion

i have a 2001 coupe with a pretty scratched up front bumper, and a couple of dents on the front fenders...i thought of getting them replaced with new 01 parts, but then i got tempted to convert to the 2004+ front end.

if any of you have either:
1) front bumper from 2004+
2) front fenders (both) from 2004+
3) front grille from 2004+
4) headlights (both) from 2004+

must be in mint condition and preferably in the silver color (SSM), please post price and pics ... i can pick up locallly (i'm in san diego) and i'm willing to drive as far north as LA, and as far south as mexico...lol

thanks in advance

dude, just get a subtle looking front bumper, and some vented (non-z3) or CF fenders
i talked to some guy who took the time to conver his 02 to 05 spec and he was depressed. the 04 conversion is such a waste imho.

go to a dealer, get all the parts required for the swap, including wiring harnesses for the headlights. paint/prep etc and after all the $$$$$ you're left with a stock looking car...hell, i'd be depressed to.

CF fenders, search around I know they make em for the vic.
Try extremedimensions.com they have a lot of CF stuff.
