Default 2013-15 GS with 16+ Bumper trimmed for 13-15 headlights mod

Hi,

Just wondering anyone here have more info on this 2013-15 GS with 16+ Bumper trimmed for 13-15 headlights. Below is what i saw on Instagram but not much info other than the head light portion was cut to fit the 13-15 head lights. Anyone else tried this? If so please let me know what else was involved because it looks like if trimmed correctly it will flow it the 13-15 head lights. This seems to be a much cheaper option vs having to do the head lights as well.

That's not what was done here. A 13-15 bumper was mashed up with a 16+ bumper custom.

It definitely looks like a custom job. Someone purchased the 16+ F sport bumper/parts and a shop likely custom fitted it to a pre-refresh GS. The bumpers don't look all that different overall but with enough time, skill and $$$ i can see how a good body shop could do it:

A body shop cut the area around the 2013-2015 headlight and grafted/molded it to the 2016+ bumper. This was 100% custom work done at a body shop.



Fellow member @itsRaymond had this custom work done on his 2014 GS.
