2004/05 Aero Estate with 2006+ rear bumper, all painted?

[oviedo]

I was taking a look at 2006+ 9-5´s and how they look much more modern. I only don´t like the chrome at all and the newer rear tail lights (sorry 2006+ 9-5 owners).

First of all hey, I don´t like tuning

Ok, I´m just seeing pics of stock 2004/5 aeros all painted and IMO, they look much newer and the strips look super great in the front and side all painted but NOT in the rear.
I´m looking forward to find a solution for the rear

the rear all painted with the 2002-05 bumper looks horrible

I will tell you, my 9-5 looks as of now exactly like this, but with rear roof spoiler included (not in this shot)

Here you have some 2004/05 aeros all painted, the front and side strips are looking great

BUT then again the rear is looking horrible with the strips painted, and in the wagon its worse

so what about painting all like in the green car BUT using in the rear a 2006+ bumper that has no strips? Crazy idea??

Somebody has photoshop skills?

Feel free to say whatever words you want about it

I think the 2006+ bumper would look out of place on the earlier models. And it doesn't look bad at all with the regular <=2005 bumper.
