nice upgrade, but wait, the new bumper that u have on, did u swap out the headlights brackets too?
how about the bottom cover spot on the new bumper?

Does anyone know how much the dealer would charge for this bumper swap?

There is an inch to inch and a half gap. When I was at the dealer checking the cars they did not have a gap at all which is weird. I checked the part numbers for the intake ducts and they are the same as the current model. So I don't know how to solve the problem. Doesn't effect fitament. Everything else pretty much Lined up nice and tight.
