Default 2012 base vs. F

So I conolecomthe front end from a 2012, on my 2006. All that's left is the lower grille, for my front bumper. Is the F sport grille different from the base model grille? I don't personally see a difference, just wanted to check. Again, I'm referring to the grille in the front bumper.

If you have a 2011-2013 front bumper, the 2011-2013 grilles (F-Sport or not) for both the upper and the lower can be fit in with no issue.

Thx! How about the design? The look of the mesh? Is the f different looking from the base?

Yes, the F-Sport grille a zig-zag pattern as opposed to the hexagonal design used on non F-Sport models.
