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?
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.

Wow I had no idea, I thought it was just the grill insert. Good info as I look for front lip.
The non F Sport has foglights too, they're in that glass area on the side of the air ducts.
I see that. Speaking of fog lights. My fog lights barely fill that gap on the sides like my other vehicles. How are yours? Are they noticeable in additional spread? I'm thinking they may have gotten a little cute making them so small and LED. Thoughts?
Yeah I'm gonna say nay, you're better getting a body kit that mimics the spindle grille and updated lower fascia. I'll bet it'll also be like 1/5th the cost too!
