Sry, just seeing this. Obviously the fenders, bumper, etc. The pre-LCI wheel arches are fine. I replaced the carrier, but not sure it was entirely necessary. The pre-LCI fog lights do NOT fit. Had some fitment issues with attaching the lower portion of the front underride protection (stock code #51117222729) but resolved that problem with some tie wraps underneath since they're not visible anyhow. You'll also need to replace the side reflectors, towing eye, a other few small items that I forget the details but didn't cost more than $20 to $30 new from the dealer. Hope this helps and good luck! Post some pics when you're done.

Finished the rear upgrade, maybe next year I'll do the front. Total was $450 painted & installed.

NICE! You must be smiling ear to ear right now... and it was not at all a budget buster. Congrats.

Yes! I'm loving it, it completely changed the car. Now if I could only do the front for that much LOL

You need LCI taillights to go with that bumper

I know, they are pricey though and require coding (which I cannot do) and the dealer will likely want a pretty penny.

Can you please forward me the procedure? I upgraded my tail lights long ago but never got around to recoding. BTW, is the link below the adapter I'll need?
