    From what I understand there should be no difference between fenders for all 2nd Generation Prius. However when looking at fender fitment I see one part number for years 2004-06 and another for 2007-09. Anyone know what the difference is if any? For example for a drivers side front fender I find part number 53802‑47030 for 2004-06 and part number 53802-47031 for 2007-2009. I would think something changed for the part number to be increased by one digit.

    Ultimately I am trying to figure out if I can install a 2007-09 drivers side fender on a 2004-06 Prius without issue.

    Thanks!

    Were there mounting hole on the '07-'09 to affix the Hybrid badges that the '04-'06s were not fitted with. That would be the only thing I could think of.

    I thought that might be the difference between fenders as well but I have no idea if that is actually the case. Does the 2007-09 fenders have actual holes in them to mount the Hybrid badge unlike my 2006 that just has the Hybrid badge attached with adhesive? If so I can certainly see that as being the only difference between the fenders.

    That would seem to be the case.

    The parts diagram shows the part number for the LH Fender is
    • 53802‑47030 for 08/2003–11/2005 and;
    • 53802-47031 for 11/2006–03/2009.

    The part detail for 53802-47031 refers to an illustration that seems to then differentiate between them:
    (The part detail for 53802‑47030 does not specifically refer to the illustration, but the parts diagram does have the same illustration.)
    • ( – 0611) W/O (hole for with hybrid mark);
    • (0611– ) W (hole for with hybrid mark).
    (This wording is exactly verbatim.)

    You cannot tell from looking at the diagram whether there are any other cosmetic changes apart from the no holes/holes.

    Hope that helps.
