Suggestion: Keep the old parts if you make the change, and offer them to the new buyer if they want to change it back. That would minimize any potential negative impact on trade value.

The same is true for the tail lights. I like the newer style, personally - and when my '00 developed a small crack in one (thanks to a shopping cart some #@&^% rammed into it) I replaced them with the newer style. The change wouldn't fool anyone - the rear bumper, 16" wheels, and older style headlights readily identified it as a '00. I just liked the style of the newer lenses.

However, a neighbor has a silver '02 with original tail lights. I now have a silver '05. I still admire his '02 when he drives by. Each car looks great no matter its year.
