So I own a 2004 Spec V, and like many, I enjoy the 2003's front end more than mine.

So I was wondering what's the procedure once I acquire the bumper. Also, what other parts/accessories must I acquire, and if there's any body modification required.

One last question is, if anyone suggests a body painter in the Hamilton area.

Bumper, fenders, headlights and fogs.
Possibly the bumper support.

Should unbolt and bolt up without much problem.

As for a body shop, I can't help ya.

nooo....04-06 headlights are different, which means bumper, fender and hood are all different.

Headlights are different, but I believe fender is still the same. Hood and bumper gotta go though. Might be able to find a complete list (with part numbers of everything required) from the other sentra sites. I know there have been lists for this swap made in the past.

Ahhh... I was wrong. Clever design and engineering. The curvature on the end of the headlights that meets the fender are the same for both generations. I never noticed that. This way Nissan didn't have to stamp out new fenders for the 04-06s. That saves quite a bit of cost for both you and Nissan. Do it!
