As someone else mentioned, I too am willing to swap IPL fog grilles for Aero grills.

You don't have factory 348 horsepower unless it's an IPL. The dealer might have been referring to aftermarket hp gains, but more likely he was just full of ****e.
Wanna swap PM Me

Shouldn't matter, either one has to be stripped of their paint for to get the new one in. 250-350 around that area.

question 1: OEM aero or sport bumpers do not come unpainted. But they do come in Amethyst Graphite.

Not sure about your second question.

sport bumper has the option for the tech package grill, i did the 2012 front swap about 9 months ago. The areo come with the non tech package grill, but intelligent cruise will still work fine as a few people done it with no issues!

You only need to buy the washer tank if you plan on buying the fog lights for the lower section.

for those of you with black trim bezel, did you shell out the $120 or so to order it or just get the regular chrome and paint it?
