Swap base lower grills for TL-S lower grills?

Hello All,

I have been searching for the past 2 hours on a simple "yes you can swap the two" type of answer but I can not seem to find it and I swear I have seen it before! (phone vs computer searching never wins)

Can someone confirm whether this is a direct swap? Link below.

http://parts.rosenthalacura.com/products/MESH%2C-L.-FR.-BUMPER-%28LOWER%29-%2ANH533%2A%28BUMPER-DARK-GRAY%29-%2871107%252dSEP%252dA20ZA%29.html

Or is the above part linked require some form of modification/retrofit?

Having the aspec kit recently delivered - which was a rather rocky experience unfortunately - painted and will mount this weekend my self. While doing this I want to swap out lower grills if possible.

Simple replacement or do I break out the dremel?

Thanks all.

Never get married.

I often wondered if you could take the left side S grill, turn it upside down, and use it on the right side... Then do the opposite for the other side.

Does anybody know what I'm talking about?? Haha

It LOOKS like it would fit, but I never had a pair to "try out"

It will not fit even if you flip it the other way upside down which the clips wouldn't line up. Best way would be dremel it in half or drill a hole to mount the clips.
