Hey as some of you know my FX was hit on the front bumper:

Whether I like it or not the front bumper now needs repaired and repainted. But I'm thinking this is my chance to upgrade to the 2012 front end. What do you guys think? I don't know if I'm really going to like it. I like the way the 09-11 front looks the way it is. For some reason they look more aggressive than the 2012 models. No offense to you 2012 guys but it's just my preference. One thing I do like though is the emblem on the new grille. It's freaking giant compared to the 09-11 models. I've seen them side by side in person.

Only thing though is that if I do the conversion it's going to cost alot of money for me. Here is the quotes:

2012 Front Bumper = $400

2012 Front Grille = $300

Paint with scratchshield = $375

Total = $1,075

Seems like alot for something I may not end up liking when completed. If I do upgrade though I will have the new grille painted black like my current grille. By the way the 2012 bumper is a direct swap. If I just have my current bumper fixed and repainted it will be around $375 only and less headaches.

What do you guys think?

Or keep her looking the same with just a repaint:

I love the new 2012 front end but I think honestly that's too much $, I would just get 09 bumper and just paint it and you can use all that other extra money for other mods :)

I'm not saying the front of the 2012 is ugly it looks good, but the price is too expensive. And what worries me is that I may not like it once completed

If money were not an issue, I'd say do the conversion. But it's not a financially sound decision if you can't make it without hesitation.
