2012 grill on 2011?

[Adopanci]

Hi,
searched the forum but did not find the answer...
soes anybody know if the new 2012 grill has any chance of fitting in the 2011 bumper (with aome body work, of course)?
Or, do we have to substitite frame, bumper and lower part of the front..?

Won't fit sorry. The camera placement is also different

 

[Adopanci]

Yes, I know camera placement is in the emblem, but beside that... are you sure?... I mean, anybodyntried yet?
Anyway thanks by now!

Never seen anyone try it. But I have seen people use the 2013 bumper with the grille and it works it just bolts straight on. Just buy the bumper I believe it's only $300-$400.

the new grille curves differently and doesn't fit with the old bumper.

Great, that is my second option: grill and bumper. Do you know if the lower part of the front side (the one below the bumper, with fog lights) fits the new bumper?
Btw, you're really helpful!

Adopanci have you installed a 2013 grill on a 2011? I'm looking to replace the plastic looking 2011 grill.

You can't just change the grill, you have to get a whole new front bumper and grill.
