Lightbulb Car Act Body Kits for 2013-2015 ES and Custom Bumpers

So I recently stumbled across a website called Car Act (http://www.car-act.com/) and essentially they send you a custom bumper and grille to make your car look like or look similar to the new Lexus spindle grilles. It is very pricy though because they ship from China. The kit itself can cost 600 to 800 bucks, but then shipping costs 500. They have kits that don't require any modifications and you keep your stock headlights (for example this kit http://www.car-act.com/product/en/20...nt-Bumper.html) and they also have kits that require you to switch out your headlights (which are included in the kit as well http://www.car-act.com/product/en/20...Body-Kits.html). Has anyone ever installed a custom bumper to their ES? If so, where did you get it from? I would really like to purchase a Car Act bumper, but it's very expensive and it's coming from China. This got me thinking... Since the redesigned 2016+ ES models are still 6th generation, that means the dimensions of the car should still be the same. So, is it possible to transplant the bumper, grille', and headlights from a 2016-2018 ES onto the original 6th gen (2013-2015) ES? If it is possible, I think it would be a lot cheaper and safer than having a custom part shipped from China.

On a side note, I do love the look of the L shaped rear lights that the redesigned ES models have. Are the dimensions for the rear lights the same as the original ES 6th gen?
Thanks.

Also, it's a stretch, but I looked at my friend's 2019 ES350 and it sort of seems like the bumper on that car could fit the original 6th Gen.

Similar question to the above poster.

Will a rear bumper and exhaust tips from a 2016+ fit a '15 year ES350 without modifying anything?

Bumpers look the same besides the bottom part around the exhaust. I bought a car that is hit in the rear and will need to purchase the bumper anyway. Like the look of the newer years.
