Nissan changed the nose of the R51 in 2008, giving it more rake, supposedly to help accommodate the V8 option. So, the grille, cover and headlamps are all different.
You can use the bumper cover from a 2005-2007 Pathfinder. For a used one, try Car-part.com. New ones aren't hard to find (Rockauto, PartsGeek, Ebay, etc.) and even reasonable in price EXCEPT for the fact that they are expensive to ship and they will need to be painted. There is a company that sells new, painted bumper covers through Ebay which isn't hard to find. Genuine Nissan bumper covers can be double the price of an aftermarket replacement. You might be able to print off a price quote from a site like NissanPartsDeal.com and used it to negotiate a lower price at your local Nissan dealer, which would have the benefit of not having the expensive shipping costs as they can order through their normal parts ordering process.
