Default 06 conversion to 2011 fsport

Does anyone know if the 2011 air ducts will Line up to the 2006 fender liner hole (brake cooling hole) I know the holes that hold the bumper to the fender wall don't line up I'm not worried about that and I know there will b a gap in the Lower grill part of the bumper without the 2011 air ducts so I wana get the air ducts to fill the gap but jus wondering if I need to buy the 2011 fender Liners too to complete the kit. The only other issue I had wit that was that the holes on the back side of the 2011 fender Liner won't match up to the 06 as well as the front can anyone who has done the conversion confirm any of this?

They do not line up and wont be that noticeable unless someone kneels and looks at it.
