Title pretty much says it all.

Looking at them (in pics) it seems like the parts can be swapped with no modding. But I'd like to know for sure.

Hope someone here can help.

Thanks in advance!

If you were gonna swap out everything meaning hood, bumper, headlights side quarterpanels, you might be able to with maybe some slight modifications. Not sure whether the mounting points between the 2001-2003 and 2004 and 2005 are the same. However, the parts by themselves are NOT interchangeable. There are differences to the shape of the headlights, hood, and grille that prevent this. Again, moutning points of the bumper and quarter panels might also be a concern. You'll also have to reroute the turn signal wiring as the 2001-3 models have their turn signals in the bumper while the 2004-5 have them in the headlight. Really, it's more trouble than it's worth.
