13' Sports vs IPL Front Bumper

Ok guys...dumb newbie question.

I like the IPL front bumper but loving the look of the 13 sports better. Would the 13 fit the 08 if so would i need to change to a slim reservoir? Hopefully I can find one like the IPL deal before the price hike. Any pics would be greatly appreciated..

Yes from what I have read the '08 requires a new washer reservoir to fit the '11 and newer front sport fascia. I like it better than the IPL front too...

All coupe bumpers fit any year from 08-13. You technically do not need a slim washer reservoir to fit the bumper. You only need a slim reservoir if you're running fog lights. The fog housing is too long and will not fit with the 08-10 reservoir. You should definitely buy the fog lights however so that you dont have holes in your bumper. But I've seen quite a few people do it for whatever reason.

I may not be the objective one but the aero bumper looks so much better than the sport in person. The sport is bland in comparison.

The 2013 sports looks ok. The IPL still looks the best...but than again it's all personal preference. IPL looks a lot more aggressive

I like the lip on the sport..it reminds me of the MBenz'. I need to cruise the dealership to see both in person.

I'm honestly not even sure they make grilles without fog holes for the 11+ sport bumper. I don't think they do, but I could be wrong on that. They do for the IPL bumper, they're just difficult to find. And thats only because of the Aero/IPL difference. It use to be an anniversary bumper for 2010 and that did not have fog lights.

It does look agressive when lowered but what doesnt. I know I dont care for the rear IPL bumper. It makes the car look too boxey to me. The Front and Sides look good but that rear nope.

ConceptZ had the IPL for $349 afew weeks ago now it's $849..I shouldve pulled to trigger then but I saw the new Sport bumper in a thread and really liked it. Diaego's new G I think before he put the IPL kit on.
