Default Question about 04' is300

My cousins is300 was in a fender bender and in need of some parts to fix her car. She doesn't know much about car and was wondering is her 04' different from 00'-03'? She needs to replace a front bumper, hood, rear bumper and tailights. Found some parts from a earlier year IS but not sure if its the right part. Please let me know, thanks!

Everything should fit OEM. The taillights, I believe, are different. It will still fit but I think the 01 came in a chrome type housing and 02+ taillights came in a darker housing. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Her 04 including 05 models have darker headlights/fogs as well as taillights. 01-03 are regular bright silver but from 02-03 the darker colored cars i.e. Graphite Gray, Black Onyx, Intensa Blue Pearl, Absolutely Red had the black chrome taillights (darker than the 04-05).
