Default **Another stupid OEM bumper question**

Looking to see if a 03-05 Chargespeed Bottomline lip would fit an 06+ bumper?

My rationale is that the only differences (that I know of) between the 03-05 vs 06-08 bumpers are the grill, apron and reflectors. So assuming there's nothing else different, the bottom contour of the bumpers should be the same. Which leads me to believe that a lip like the bottomline (where the lip doesn't come up into the apron) would fit both bumpers?

This is a serious question so please no stupid comments unless you have experience or can verify either way.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's a pic for comparison:

I did notice that but sometimes companies do this for marketing purposes and to make dealers stock more items.

+1, the 06+ bumpers are also more alittle curved compared to the 03-05
