2011 lip kit on 2012 model
So is there anyway to put the lip kit from 2011 on to 2012 model. I got a 2012 tl tech awd and was gonna buy the lip kit but i am not feeling the back part at all. I am not crazy about the front either but the back i really dislike is there any way to mod the bumper to put the back part from 11 on to a 12 or do i have to change the bumper completely.

It's gonna be a lot of work and $$$ to rework the '12 bumpers in order to fit on the '11 kit.
But if you're gonna buy the '11 bumpers, you will be stuck with the '11 "Power Plenum" front grille and the big silver trim piece above the rear bumper.

I actually saw a guy at a caraway that I take my car to, he had a 09 with the rear of a 12. He is a member here I just don't remember his name but he told me not allot of work needed for the swap.

Oh yes, swapping the bumper is easy, but reworking the bumper is lots of work.

i researched a little on it, you will need a new rear reinforcement bar to support the rear bumper, i believe the 12' is shorter than the 09-11 thus you need new crash bar and i do believe Styrofoam too
