The 2012+ rear valances (Lip) does not fit the 2009-2011. Only way to achieve the 2012+ rear is to get the bumper and valances.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder...but i think you are the first perosn who has felt the 12+ rear looks better than the 09-11... the newer body kit looks tacked on in the rear... IMHO...
i initially disliked the 4G looks..they have grown on me.. and I find myself liking the older more angular/aggressive 09-11 look compared to the softened 12+.
the newer one looks too generic.

Not that it matters or should matter but I agree the pre '12 rear lip looks better in my opinion.
However, my understanding is that the 12+ rear lips are easier to install as there is only drilling involved where as the pre '12 has some cutting required.

I like the 2012+. Fits the style of the updated facelift. Maybe that just because I have the 2014 with the kit. I just saw the 09 with the kit 5 minutes ago. And it looks nice as well. Hard to decide. Wish it was a simple lip like the TSX rather then the valances.

from my understanding it wont fit.. you can try but the way the rear bumper is shaped between the two is different.
i installed several 4g kits.. so i can honestly say it will look totally weird as the side of the bumper will be low but the center where the exhaust are will be high as well.
