Looking at 2013+ 460s. Grille Swap?
Gents,
I sold my 2008 LS a few months back as I needed an AWD car, and I'm now back in the market for a 2013+. While I do like the front end styling of the F-Sport, I have a significant preference for the interior finish and amenities of the Technology Package.
For those that know, I have the following questions:
-In terms of exterior differences between the F-Sport and non, does it come down to only wheels, suspension height, front fascia (bumper and grilles) and the F-Sport badge?
-I've read the the rear diffuser is different as well, though I fail to see the difference in photos. What is the difference?
Given that my preference is for the exterior of the F-Sport and the interior of the Technology package, my plan would be to purchase a 13+ Technology Package and swap the front main grille for the F-Sport's. Has anyone done this before and/or does anyone know if I would run into any challenges in doing so? Optically they seem to be the exact same size, though I've yet to confirm the sizing for certain.
Does anyone also know if the bumper itself is different from the F-sport to the non, aside from the grilles?
Thanks in advance.

The front bumper is totally different. You'll have to replace the whole bumper, grille, lower grille, fog lights, the rear diffuser is different but it's minor.

The non F Sport has foglights too, they're in that glass area on the side of the air ducts.

I don't know if the supports underneath are different. You'd need the hood, headlights, bumper, grille, potentially also the fenders...

Those body kits are ugly though, they just don't look right...
