Looks great, very clean find! I would suggest some bigger exhaust tips for the rear though.
Good eye, it's definitely an 04+ rear bumper. Notice how the bumper doesn't run the length of the trunk taillights (as to accommodate the smaller trunk tails in the facelift models). I hear ya on bumpers not matching perfectly color-wise. Dealer resprayed my front bumper and assured me the guy who did it was the best in the biz....which is why the colors don't quite match and why I have some minor paint peeling on some parts of it currently lol

Per the sales brochures, this color was not available in 04-06. It was replaced with cypress pearl, which was, IMO, a somewhat darker grayish-green. It was also a fairly rare color.

I see what he means. In the pics, look at the inside lower corner of the tail lights where it meets the painted part of the trunk lid and the bumper cover. On the 04-06, that scalloped part of the bumper cover starts at the corner of the tail light. It looks like the inside corner of the tail light was moved outward in 04-06.
