01-03 to 04-06 bumper
Hello, is it possible to just change the 01-03 rear bumper to an 04-06 rear bumper? I got a 05 rear bumper sitting at home and was wondering if i can just swap the bumpers but use the 01-03 trunk?

Yes 01-03 and 04-06 rears are interchangeable. The fronts are not.

If you already have the bumper I would go for it just to see the results. How bad is the gap?

Not that noticable to me. It only would stand out to you and maybe some body repair guys.

Not bad at all. My question is, does it stand up to the elements and car washes?
