My wife was driving my car, because her 4-runner is in the shop from a hitting a deer, and I get the call. The anticipation of seeing it was worse than the actual damage, but there were enough stress cracks to warrant getting another. So its time to replace the front bumper. Sorry no pics, but the damage is hardly worth posting.My question: Will a coupe front bumper work on my 04 sedan? How about an 05 coupe or sedan? Looking to stay oem as possible.Kevin

I'm not completely sure, but I'd say you have to stick with a sedan bumper. You might be able to go with a newer sedan style, but I think the coupe is wider and fits totally different.

A 90 Mercury Cougar at about 5mph. They were both waiting to merge into traffic.

Don't like the rear bumper, looks fat. Not sure about the front one.....

I would keep shopping around.
