Will the 2014 spindle grill fit the 2014 non fsport bumper?
it seems as if the spindle grill might fit on a non f sport bumper on the 2014+ models
the bumpers look the same. And some places have same part number for the bumper.
It seems as if the only difference is the spindle grill, (top and bottom grill) and the fog light garnish.
can anyone help out or confirm? my local dealer says you need the whole bumper swap but I just wanted a second opinion. thanks

what makes you say the grills don't fit? would it physically not fit?
when you order a bumper for 2014 and up models it comes bare without the middle part. It seems as if you can just take the middle plastic cap off along with the top and bottom grill and replace it with the F sport spindle grill all together?

It is possible to upgrade base 2014-15 non-sport to F-sport front grille. When Sewell was up, they had a kit that was about $1k for 2014-15 models.
Here's a link to the upper part of the grille. Seller doesn't have lower for some reason.

So it DOES seem like it is a possibility to swap just the grill.

You're talking about the kit for pre-2014 models which was about $2k ($1.4k with CL discount). The one I'm referring to is the one for 2014-5 non F-sport models as stated before. Wish I could find the exact website cache, but here is a cache of the upgrade offered to 2014 models (~$1.4k before CL discount). Scroll to "F-Sport Bumper Conversion", they even have a before/after picture. Of course the grille alone won't be 1k...which is why I linked to the ~$200 upper part. L2internetz

now that sewell is closed (link dead as well), we won't know what is exactly included or needed to do the conversion unless we do it ourselves. i don't see what else we would need to rack up the cost to 1000+.

Do you know what webpage cache is? I linked the Sewell google cached website on the post I made on 04-11-15 09:34 AM. This thread is lol.

Did anyone ever swap out their non fsport to fsport grille? I found the parts (upper and lower) here and have ordered them. I have yet to receive and install.
