Default Facelift

Who's already thinking about getting the 2014 facelift to swap out on 11, 12 or 13's?

What would need to be swapped if it could even fit?

From what I've read, you'd need a bumper cover, 2 headlights, new fog/Daytime running lights, I think the hood may be different too. You would also need a rear bumper cover and taillights. It'd probably be cheaper to trade in.

Youre right on the bumpers and lights.... But I think the hood is still the same though

It cannot be cheaper to trade in.
On a pure finance perspective, who isn't upside down on their car's value? Which would automatically make the new more expensive.
On a mod perspective.. I don't want to uninstall or re-install squat.
On the Sly outside the box perspective this upgrade can be done @ virtually the cost of a low deductible given the event of a low speed front end collision.

I get the old lights won't fit, so consequently would need the swap. The hood may be different. If it is.. a CF version will be available before long. The way I look at it.. Its still modding/upgrading on top of the work I've done. I don't know how some people put thousands into their new car, only to part out months later and trade in. What a waste of money.
