Upgrading front bumper

[EYSA]

Is upgrading to the facelift as simple as replacing the front bumper or are there other parts that would be required to be replaced?

No it is not that simple. There are a couple threads you can search for that go into the details of all of the parts you would need as well as modifications that you would need to make. (One person has 3D printed a piece to fill in the gap to make the process easier.)

You can also purchase our Front Bumper Refresh which is as simple as replacing the front bumper after a professional prep, paint, and install.

Due to sensor location and mounting brackets, you can't simply put a refresh bumper on a nose cone car, it won't line up....
T-sportine, Evannex, and Unplugged Performance make front bumpers...

I spoke to both Tsportsline and Unplugged performance. Not only does the Unplugged performance mod look closer to the OEM gen 2 bumper, but I felt like Unplugged was lightyears better in terms of customer service. The rep who I spoke to at Tsportline (sounded like the guy that's featured in their videos) was a total ass. I'm getting my unplugged refresh installed soon- can't wait!

LOL.... Yup same here with Tsportline. Guy was a Dick.
