Seeing it in person, I know that the approaching angle
was reduced but looking at the number is wow, 7deg is huge from 10-13 to 14+.

Will the '10-'13 gen front bumper fit the '18 to increase approach angle?

That would probably be a lot of work and headlights are different. HIDs or Halogens low beams depending on models for '10-'13 and '14+ LED low beams. Halogen highs on all models.

What trim and year GX do you have? A number of options even for '14+ including larger tires, lifts and a few aftermarket bumpers are now coming on the market.

yeah, does sound like a lot of work. It's an '18 base with nav, bsm. It's the wife's so I'm trying to keep it somewhat stock looking but also want to have some fun with it.

I don't think so. You are looking at bumper, grill and headlights assembly will have to replaced completely. I remember saw a post on the internet (I think that is in Thailand), someone had replace entire front of 10-13 model with 2014 front end.

I think there was a guy down in Puerto Rico that did a conversion on a pre-refresh model as well.
