This may be the thread you're referring to.
OP, it would be much easier on you and your wallet to sell the 2003 and then buy an 04-06 lol.

TominPT, I suspect OP just wants the 2003 to look like an 04-06, not to be an 04-06.

Have you been drinking ( just kidding - not really ) it would be silly to do this. The time and cost would be HUGE !!

You are going to hunt down the all parts you need for this project and swap them over ?

Why would you even want to do this ? If you want an '06, buy one ! Converting an '03 make no sense.
