Default 2016 Fsport to GSF front end conversion

hey guys, has anybody done an F-Sport to GSF front end conversion on a 2016+ yet?

I'd like to do it. Assuming I will need the bumper cover, grille and air ducts. I'm willing to be the guinea pig for this conversion if nobody has attempted it yet.

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

ok so after talking with the parts guy at my local dealership I realize why people aren't doing this LOL. The grille alone retails for $7,500 CAD!

Can anybody in the states check price for the grille? Part # 53101-30A50

Alternatively, I wonder if the F-Sport grille is the same dimensions as the GSF? Obviously the bottom edge is different, which doesn't really matter, but as long as the sides match up it could be feasible to use.

Thanks, just checked and its even more. $7,250 USD which is about $9,500 CAD. Ouch!

Anyways, I ordered the bumper today and will test fit my F-Sport grille when it arrives. If all goes well I will buy the air duct fascia pieces and likely add a Lexon lip / splitter.

Looking forward to hearing the outcome!

are you looking to do just the GSF front? if you don't mind the 13-15 headlights, Aimgain makes a bumper that is a GSF clone but still retains the 13-15 headlights. Modinjapan is taking preorders right now and its a lot cheaper than going the whole front end conversion route.

Thanks for sharing that, it certainly does resemble the GSF! However, I do like my 2016 triple beam headlights and DRL stroke. Since I have already purchased the bumper I will go forward with it and try my best to make it work. I will update once bumper received and test fit the grille.

the bumper is a direct fit on a 16+. you would just need to order the bumpers and the grilles to match

you found a way to get all the signals to work for the LEDs? I know the few people who have done the 16+ conversion have not been able to get the setup to work...
