$50 is great considering that the OEM ones cost $128 each from Sewells.

OP, Thanks for posting this, very well.

iRyan... quick question for you. Will the 09-10's need the same parts that the 06-08's need for the 12 bumper conversion? Im debating doing this but want to clarify which parts are needed first. Thanks in advance!

When buying parts see if your local dealer will match Sewell prices. Mine usually do

Sewells parts $506.78 Shipped
Ebay Fogs $49.99/pair Shipped
Ebay Lip kit $99.99 Shipped
OEM Bumper (non-painted) $325
OEM 2012 Bumper Absorber $50
Paint Labor $200 for the bumper and lip kit

Total Spent on the Upgrade: $1231.76

Sewells kit was gonna cost me $1856 Shipped

Total Savings $624.24

Its always good to research alot before you buy certain things because you can always save money. It took me a while to get the kit together, but the savings is well worth it.
what lip kit did you but for $99 can you post the ebay link here
