Carpenter's 2013+ Facelift Project


Recommended Posts

So I'm missing working with my son on this car and I am at that point where I'm out of things to do to this car or my others and low and behold an idea...2013+ facelift! Anyone who knows me should know that there will be unique touches I will add to the new parts to make it stand out.

 

Parts Purchased:

$065.00 2013 Passenger Headlight (Not SE)

$080.00 2013 Driver Headlight (Not SE)

$055.76 45cm JDMToy Audi Style Switchbacks

$014.97 3M Ribbon Sealer (For Headlight Sealing)

$180.00 2014 Front Fascia

$173.99 2014 Black Billet Grille

$048.22 2013 Fog light Bezel ®

$049.95 2013 Fog light Bezel (L)

$064.90 Front Bumper Lip

$019.85 Splitters

 

So I'm down around $752 bucks, but can save on paint because I'll do it myself. Also hoping the 2010 fog lights will work with the new style housings. I wanted to post this up so anyone can see the transition. I am currently in the process of installing the switchbacks to the new headlight housings to conform to the "C-shape" and blacking these out (Not a fan of chrome). I am currently waiting on pearl paint to arrive and adjusting the splitters to mount the lip. Stay tuned for pics!

I did it over the winter. You also need the tow hook cover for the bumper. There is a black filler piece at the top of the grill that has a different part number for 13+, I picked that up too but I didn't compare to see if it was necessary.

Not sure of this filler piece you speak. I went straight from a 2010 bumper and grille to a 2013 bumper and grille, nothing else necessary.

 

My memory was telling me that part number 91165AJ00A "Bracket Grill" only fit the 10-12 and the 13-14 had a different part number. I just looked it up and my recollection was incorrect. My bad, carry on! Oh and, TTIWWOP!

I'm understanding that for a 2013 facelift - all I really need is the front bumper / fog light bezels, and grill...on the fog lights...is it settled whether or not ill have difficulty with the stock fog light harnesses? I thought I read somewhere the bulbs/harnesses were different

 

what are all of the aftermarket options on the grill for the 2013/2014?

I am running testa's 13/14 factory fogs on my '10 so you won't have problems reusing your fog lights, they're both H11 bulbs.

There's an LED strip there, right? That's more or less what I want to do with my headlights. I'd skip the eyebrows, but just about everything else is spot-on with what I want to do.

 

Yes, I had to skip out on the Morimoto switchbacks because they didn't bend at all. Went with JDMToy Audi Style switchbacks. Just in case anyone wants to know, 45cm is a perfect fit.
