Default will '10 isx50 Front bumper cover fit my 07?

i bought my car in Illinois which requires a front license plate. now i moved to Indiana i no longer need a front plate. after removing my front plate mount the previous owner had poorly installed it, as a result there are four gross looking holds and scurfed up area in shape of the plate mount.

my questions are: should i replace the whole front bumper? will the ' 09 2010 fit? will the fog lights fit? the grill looks different as well- will the old fit?

should i just get an 06-08 front to make it easier?

are there any other solution? i know i can just have the holds filled and repainted.

thanks

Do it. A good body shop will make it look factory only thing is. Instead of filling the holes and painting and only paying 5-600 you'll be spedning probably 12-1300 for bumper, labor, paint, and any fitment issues if any.

Bumper plugs and rubbing compound. And then wait until you rear-end someone and get the cover replaced by the insurance!

Body shop can fix it and you'll have a newly painted bumper and with the money you save, get a lip!

Just get it repaired. Not worth the trouble changing to the '09-'10, unless you're really into that design.
