EVERYONE WHO DID THE 2k3 bumper swap on a 2k COME IN!!!

DAMNIT MAN.......THIS IS A PHENOMENA, lol my max was crashed. My brother was driving and he fell asleep. When he woke up he either had a choice of hitting a car, a ditch or the guard rails. Choose to drive into the ditch and litterally went airborne lol. So yeah the ditch was about 15 feet 20 to 25 feet steep and what came out screwed up was the front bumper + grill, struts blown, control arms blown, tires bald, brakes and warped rotors, bent rims, splash guards done, and that black plastic next to the tires done and needs 5 new coils and some other things. I spoke to Dave Barren and he told me that the 2k3 bumper was much cheaper then the 2k. almost a good 80-90 dollars cheaper. So I wanted information from everyone who put the 2k3 bumper on the 2k max to help me out with this. please. Thank you for your time.

The bumper is cheaper for the 2k2-2k3 because you still have to buy the grill.....for the 2k-2k1s it's in the bumper already.....

You'll need a few miscellaneous clips and 2K2 fogs/headlights, however withOUT the grill, it's not that bad looking.

I'm not sure if the harness plugs/pigtails are the same or not, I never got that far into my research. Other then that, all the electrical should work fine.

It's interesting how you can laugh this off with your brother crashing your car when he could've seriously hurt himself or someone else, but, well, ok...............

and yes, the 02-03 bumper is cheaper.
