does it bolt right up to 02 style rear bumpers?</TD></TR></TABLE>
aside having the bumper and hatch you also need to drill holes so the tail lights fit correctly. Unfortunately it's not just a bolt on. There's a write up on crsx on how to do it. Honestly, IMO, it's a waste of time. If you wanted the 05-06, why didn't ya just buy one?

Thought I'd ask. im sure if it was just straight bolt on, plenty of ppl would be doing it. just wanted to see what the census was.

Personally, I'm a fan of the 02-04 tails. More traditional and the DC5R used them throughout their run in Japan if I'm not mistaken.
At least the 05-06 RSX tails aren't as ugly as what Mazda has been doing lately to their tail lights.

what about this DC5R:
They had a Type-R in the 05-06 style also.

I converted my front end and decided to keep the 02 rear end, now I wish I would have converted the whole thing.
