2013 front bumper skin on a 2011

[ntsaint]

I have a 2011 LC that my wife mashed the front bumper on a month or so ago. Was going to do aftermarket front but can't really find anything i like. So i'm waiting.

Came across the bumper skin from a 2013 today, which was the year of the first refresh. All i can tell was updated on it is the shape of the fog / running lights.

Anyone know, or have somewhere i can check, to see if it's compatible? I've been searching part numbers but can't find confirmation anywhere.

Also have a text into Beno. Going by or calling my dealership is a last resort...they are very unhelpful. But will do that if need be.

Part numbers are definitely different...

 

[KLF]

Wow... a dealer that isn't helpful on parts comparison? That's odd.

NOT

i found pics of the rear of the 2013 skin. Gonna compare to 2011 tonight. Will know then.

Any update on this Andy? Just got a 200, would like to do a hidden winch mount like Karl @justdifferentials and would love to use the 2013+ front bumper skin.

Nothing yet ben. I have the bumper skin and it looks like it's going to do just fine but I haven't had time to try it out yet. Going to do this soon as we get back from Colorado.

Were you able to fit the 2013 bumper skin on your 2011?

 

[HRTROB]

Since the OP never updated us on the fitment, I took one for the team. I can confirm that the 2013 bumper skin will fit the old models. However, it's a bit tight with the old styrofoam inside. I need to get the 2013 styrofoam or trim the old one.

@HRTROB thanks for being the MUD guninea pig for the bumper skin.

Also, Great looking Corvette hiding in the garage- Must be a rare find outside the States!

@HRTROB did you change out your main headlight units? Those are 2013+, at least here in the states...I'm assuming you aren't in the US because of the rear doors on your rig...

And I am the OP...bumper skin still in my garage. Life intervened this summer

Thanks! The Corvette is my dad's, he's really into American muscle

Yup I'm from the Philippines. I recently changed out the headlights to the 2013 ones, so I decided to upgrade the bumper and grille as well. I posted the lights in this thread:

Headlight upgrade 2008 to 2013 with HID & DRL

I know what you mean about life intervening. Hopefully it did in a good way. Cheers!

Thx. What needs trimming on the styrofoam? Height or depth?

I haven't checked exactly which part of the styrofoam needs trimming. I just noticed that the two middle mounting tabs under the bumper were bulged out of shape with the styrofoam in place, although those middle mounting tabs will bolt on to the skid just fine. So you might actually get away without doing any trimming

I might be able to pick up a 13 skin since mine is toast 09.. Would I need anything else besides the fog lights. Basically same grille, washer sprayers and liners all Match up?

 

[ntsaint]

Yes. Mine wound up being an easy swap.
