Is it possible to swap 2000 Accord rear bumper for 02 Accord rear bumper?

Yes, it can be swapped, but be sure you get all the V6 goodies. The 4cyl is missing the center trim panel found on the V6 cars, you are going to want this for it too look good. Honda calls this lower trim item the lower rear bumper spoiler.

However, with out you see an exposed lower clip section on the rear bumper that I think looks aweful.
Just paint your muffler black and install a polished OE tip and it will look good.
Personally I like the 00 bumper better, the 2001+ bumper has bulges that make the ass stick out and look funny.
Why don't you just order the 98+ rear lower skirt from Handaacc.com?

I actually think the 98-00 bumper looks more like bubble butt I like the ends of the 02 bumper because its stright instead of the inner look of the 98-00. Plus I just think it looks cleaner because of that little spoiler lip looking thing on them too.
