11+ front grill on 09/10

I got on a small fender bender and the grill on my 2010 TSX cracked. Anyone know if the front grill from the 2011+ is a direct fit or is it possible to retrofit?

Thanks!

the only thing the SAME is the headlights

you would need a complete grill, bumper, fogs vents, lower grille

Will not fit. You need the 09-10 items robpp mentioned as well to make it fit.

Very off. Look at where the grille connects to the bumper on its sides. The 09-10 bumper doesn't touch the side of the headlights, whereas the 11+ bumper has a tiny strip there. This strip/margin on both sides is an obvious indicator that the MMC grille will not fit the pre-MMC bumper.

You are right. Now to think of it, I'm wondering if the '11 grill will work on the Mugen bumper...

Don't think it will be a direct fit as the "beak" goes lower than the Mugen bumper.

Nope. Post-MMC grille won't work on the Mugen or the Modulo front bumper.
