Swap 2010 to 2012 Rear Bumper / Tail lights?
Has anyone done this or think it's even remotely possible without spending a million dollars?
Id Like to take the tail lights from a 2012 and place them onto my 2010 so I can get both Reverse lights.
And then swap the bumper out so Replace the single reverse light with the two (what look like) Brake lights in the Bumper.

Do it. Bumper cover and tail lights are the 2 obvious things u need. Not sure if the actual steel bumper is different or the styrofoam piece inbetween.
Some wiring mods are going to be necessary as well. All in all i dont see why its not possible.
Side note; while youre there just get the rumion tail lights and bumper cover *BALLIN*

^ And the 2012 tails will fit the 2008-10 models fine without modification to the bumper? I know with the Rumion you'd have to modify it, but I wasn't sure if the tail light swap was that easy (apart from the re-wiring).
I've been thinking about having that extra reverse light, although, I do have aftermarket Longo tails and I'm not ready to replace those bad boys just yet

Scion isn't a Ferrari. The gap would look better if it simply wasn't there...
