00-02 or 03+ Rear bumper

Post by patiofurnituregt » Fri Jan 02, 2009 2:30 am

A friend of mine has a wrecked silver 05 sxt. The rear bumper and tails are perfect and he woul let me swap it for free....but I have just been debating because I like the 03 tails but never really cared for the license plate bubbles. But atleast I would have the tails if I get an SRT bumper. My 00 bumper does have a lil paint chip by my lisence plate...sooo

03 rear bumper

or

00 rear bumper

What are your thoughts?

I've wondered this, is the license plate indentation on an '00-'02 the same shape as the one molded into an SRT bumper? they look the same but I don't have an SRT bumper could compare with an earlier bumper. Just curious.

Hmm they are very similar. The '00 style may be a little more rounded. The jury is out.

mopar4life - is anything wrong with the st bumper you have?
