Default 09/10 bumper different from 06/08 HELP

Well, my wife was driving my car to friends house last night and got lost in a not so good neighborhood and tried to leave ASAP and slightly rubbed a curb and scraped up the bumper corner. It can be easily covered by a front lip but i have been looking all day and most of them say they only fit on 2006-2008 models, s my friend has a 2007 and it looks 100% the same as mine maybe its not, hopefully someone can help me clear this up.

Thanks.

Yes... Front lips for 06-08 will not fit 09-10 bumpers. They are different.

From a glance it looks the same but if u look closely like where the fog lights are and along the bottom of the bumper the grooves are slightly different. I have a 07 a friend has a 2010 we compared. Other alight differences that u won't notice just from a glance is the grill has less spokes and the frame around the grill is diff

Yeah they won't fit. You should get an aftermarket lip or just touch it up with paint.
