I think it would, of course I don't own either model but judging by the looks Id say it would probabbly be a direct fit.

Technically it should, but im not sure. You can always cut out for the exhaust.

cutting it is probably the cleanest and cheapest way to do it. i wouldnt get the rear bumper from a kit and not put the rest of the kit on.
