the main difference between LCI and pre-LCI bumbers is the grill fitment... if that was changed from an LCI version, it would essentially be pre-LCI. simply put. If you want to do an LCI conversion, just invest in the LCI hood and grills as well and you're golden. the headlights have the same symmetrical shape as pre-lci

Yes.
Everything on top lines up, including the fender liners. But the undertray, only 2 bolts line up. You can buy the new sport undertray for around $25 but I didn't see the need.....it's very secure. Also, if you don't do a hood conversion, you need to trim the top if the grills. Search my thread history in my stats page on my profile. I posted a thread over the summer about this conversion. Other members who have done it, posted pictures so you can look at how it looks on a darker color car. Also, some don't use the outer trim piece. They just use the inner grills. On a dark color car, it looks ok. On white, no good. You need the outer trim.

I've been meaning to put it on a belt sander but that means I'll have to re-vinyl that trim piece.....takes a good 45 mins.
