I own an 03 ssei now and I like the look of the car the only thing I think I want to change is the front bumper, I was just curious if a gxp bumper would fit on my car without having to modify anything?

You'd need the actual bumper underneath the bumper cover, foglights, and there's probably a different air dam or something under there.

You don't need the aluminum bumper, you just need the foam behind the plastic. And the foglights and the wiring harness.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had thought the bumper was different for the foglight placement.

Nope, the actual metal bumper is the same.
