Looking into doing this swap, but honestly trying to find a way to do the swap without having to pay $1700 Shipped. Does anyone know the exact parts that need to be replaced on the car for the bumper to fit?

I know I need the following:

F SPORT BUMPER
F SPORT LIP
FOG LIGHTS
FOG LIGHT BRACKETS
UPPER AND LOWER GRILLS
BRAKE COOLING DUCTS
HEADLIGHT BRACKETS
FENDER BRACKETS

Anyone know if I will need anything else for the swap to be complete?

I know with smart searching and purchasing of the parts this can be done with less than $1200.

Please leave your input on this.

Brake air ducts and fender brackets are reuse, but maybe the 2012 brake air ducts maybe longer than the previous model that might fill the gap? But I have no problem seeing the gap there, do I didn't change my

Says $1700 shipped, but wants to do for it for under 1200. I assume your doing it for that price?

Can you list anything that you received from sewells that is not listed above? And what year is your car?

By the look at your sig, look like you have headlights washer? Make sure you mention Sewell that you have headlights washers or parking assist so they can send you the correct one (at least my have parking assist) that about the bumper, get back to the kit that I got from Sewell are bumper, two f-sport lips, fog lights, fog lights brackets, top and lower grills, headlights brackets, NO L emblem, NO upper grill weather strip, but I contact Derrel about that, he sent me thosethat pretty much it, I think it might be cheaper if you buy them separate piece it might cost you less, because they sent me two extra fog light cover for non f-spot bumper and charged for them if you order them separate it might save you $50
Ps: some member here order the foam absorber from 2012 for the bumper sit flush to the fender? But I installed fine with the stock 07 one without any problem the only gap I have about 2 inches at the brake air ducts meet the bumper at pics below

Ordered mine from sewell. You will also need the 2012 bumper support faom.

Thanks for the info so just to be clear the only brackets needed are the headlight brackets? You didnt have to change your fender brackets?

That would be me. In my case the rubber strip came with the package. I returned the two extra fog light cover for credit and bought something else (called Darrell). With the 2012 foam absorber everything will fall in to place because they are different in shape on the front part (2007 vs 2012). The same gaps are there, I think you have to get the 2012 air ducts as well to get rid of them. Holes on the new bumper will not line up with the front under tray and fender linings, again you'll have to get the 2012 ones in order to match, I just tuck it up. Hope this helps.

No need fender brackets, just the headlights brackets which included in the kit
No need bumper support foam for me, I used my 07 one, but for some reason some other member can not get the bumper to sit flush to the headlights or fender with their old one?

That's sure an expensive conversion!
