I don't know if I agree with this comment. This is my 2007 with a 2013 front end converted. In my opinion, it's the best way to do it cause you're basically using OEM parts. The draw back is it is costly.

Yours is a whole different look with those fenders and wheels. I didn't think the stock car with the '13 front end looked anywhere near as good as that.

There is an issue with the bottom inside corner of the headlights if you look closely, the bumper cover actually covers part of the lights.

Some other photos all have the same issue, It isn't that big of a deal but might bother you over time
