There is the ebay 13 - 15 Conversion that uses your existing lights. Then there is the high cost Factory conversion.

I like the way the conversion looks with the pre-facelift headlights, very classy. I've batted around the idea of going this route since I need a new bumper, and I really like those conversion kits (the premise.). Those eBay conversions were cool, and I guess in China it's popular to do a full blown GS-F conversion (exterior), the pricing was pretty good TBH, just not sure of the quality. China ain't what people have stuck in their mind, though...lots of BMW's, Mercs, etc cruising their highways these days. Oh found it, TopHorse Auto https://www.tophorseauto.com/product...2012-9774.html. Cool kit, not sure of quality.

the bumper i got didn't have the cutouts for the new headlights. i'm with Lanson though, I like the pre-facelift headlights with the the converted bumper, but I probably wouldn't be opposed to updating it either.

Excellent example, beautiful.

I'm VERY wary of the quality of these kits but it might be worth looking deeper. Then again, I can get an OEM quality factory bumper painted for like 350. Tough to think about.

i've been looking at those kits for a while now and i've been contemplating because i personally like the 2016's headlights and bumpers more because its a more aggressive look do any of yall know if the 2016's bumper has the same mounting brackets as the 2015's?

Nice! I have seen your YT ch also. Good of you to do those Mods on YT.

To fix the Hood gap you should get the GS F Hood latch piece it pulls the bumper up and closes the gap. How did you Black out the Chrome Grill Trim? Did you wrap it in Black chrome or does it just look that way?
