I have a 2003 350z and I just hit a deer. My local bodyshop is doing the repairs and I was going to have them order the 07 hood, front bumper, and headlights. I know the headlights and hood are a direct fit, but i wasnt sure if the front bumper is a direct fit.

The bumper is direct fit, But the fender liners won't fit correctly.

The reflectors are different as well.

So I would need to get new fender liners to make it a perfect fit?

^ yes. 06+ fender liners can be ordered from rockauto for like $47 bucks shipped.

I retained the 03-05 fender liners with the 06+ bumper. All the bolts lined up fine I just had a 1/2" gap between the bumper and liner on the bottom corners of the bumper. No biggie.

Everything you need to know has already been discussed in this thread:

If you're having the dealer order the part then just have them order the 03-05 bumper but the 07 of everything else

Dont NEED the liners for the bumper to fit.

Thanks for the info, I only ask because I want the 07 bumper, I like the look of it better.

Klrider44

okay turns out some they are transferring parts from my 03 bumper to the new bumper so the 07 bumper isnt going to work out. So i will have an 03-05 bumper with an 07 hood. Wondering what this will look like, does any one have pic of this setup, cant seem to find one. I find it really difficult to get the results i want from the search on this site.

I prefer the older bumper mainly because there are much more lips available for it.

IMO the bumpers are not dramatically different. The HR hood is MUCH nicer though.

What parts are you refering to? Side markers are $20 for both on the 06-08... Get the 07 bumper with the 07 hood.. it only makes sense.

Why not just get the V2 bumper. V2 is sexy!

Also, know the pieces that go across the grille are not included when you buy the 06-09 bumper I believe. Here are pics showing those parts (or lack there of) from my bumper and an extra I have in my garage.
