TL front end conversion from 2010 to 2012?

Just wondering a conversion from 2010 to 2012 is a matter for just the grille and front bumper? Has anyone made the conversion yet? I got into a front accident and wanted to see if 2012 front will fit my 2010.

i did the conversion 2 years ago.. its just the bumper and grill. you will need new fogs/turn signals/lower fog grill.. everything thats on the front bumper.

also your turn signal bulb sockets will need to be new ones

2012+ turn signals - 3457A
2009-11 turn signals - 1157a

you can technically modify the bulb socket which was what i did.. i just heated up a knife and melted down some of the shroud to make it fit..

My opinion, I have 2012 and I can assure you the o ly thing that looks better is the fog light parking light area. Only way to make the grille look good is to get the new Aspec grille from a new mdx rdx and have someone make it fit. The grille for the 2012 is terrible looking. You can wrap and paint match the beek and it make the tl look way meaner than a 2012-2014.
