Default stock '07 front bumper cover fitment

I know that plenty of Z front bumper covers just fit earlier models, some later models. I was wondering if my '07 oem bumper cover can fit '03-'08? Also is there an official model name of the '07 oem cover? I've searched around and can't find definite info. as I may sell mine. Thanks!

Here is a pic of my oem cover from early this yr:

There was a mid-model refresh of the 350Z in mid-2006, The bumper from your '07 will not fit the '03 to early '06 models well. There is no specific name for the refreshed bumper, just a different part #.

All bumpers are interchangeable and fit 100% fine. The only thing that doesn't line up 100% if you switch the bumpers, are the fender liners. It's barely noticeable but if it bothers you, you can buy the fender liners meant for that year bumper.

My old 04 Z had the 06+ front bumper. IMO, a nice looking upgrade.

There's been quite a few members who have put the new bumper on the earlier cars, fitment is 100% and as noted by Bmurrary the fender liners can go either way.

As I said, the newer bumper will not fit as well as the one designed for the '03-05 Zs. Besides the fender liners, the side reflectors are larger and cannot be directly swapped over, so you'll need to sell them with the bumper to a customer with an older version Z33.

Thanks dkmura, yeah the reflectors would come with it with louvers, everything in that pic.
