swapping a 2002 front bumper onto a 2001?

would it be a simple bolt on...are the 2001 and 2002 bumbers interchangeable? i like the style of the 2002 bumper , plus the fact that the grill is a seperate piece from the bumber not like the 2001 where the grill is attached to the bumber.....anyone with feedback would be greatly appreciate.....thanks

Yes it bolts up...

No you will have a fitament problem, as the headlights are slighty different in shape.

There will be a gap below your 2k1 headlights if you use a 2k2/2k3 bumper.

I have the 02 front end on my max with the 02 lights and it looks great. Purchased some used side skirts from Kloogy a while back and it completes the look. In addition, I sold my 2k1 rims for $400 and purchased some Kummo tires on some 2k2 rims. Other than my rear nissan logo and my 2k1 exhaust my max looks like a 2k2 from the outside.
