What all parts do you have to swap to make this work? I saw one thread were the guy cut away part of the front end then welded on 11+ one.

Drock said just drilling holes and trimming the headlight buckets. No core support swaps needed.

Car looks great and you should be very prod of all your hard work. I am very interested in doing this swap on my car, when the fenders become available. Are you going to put together a kit with what's needed for the swap, or just market the fenders?

I could do a full write up but shark tales already did it and that's pretty much all it takes. And a lot of patience ha. The only non oem part that you need is the fenders. Everything else if for a or is off a 2010-2012

I thought shark tails replaced the whole front support and everything else from the 2010-2012. It was stated earlier that the 2005-2009 front support and some mods to the lights would work. Will it require everything from the 2009-2012 front end for the swap?

I literally did nothing more then cut out the headligh buckets and drill a couple holes. If you want to get real fancy the whole support can be had around $200 and you cant cut your old one out and replace it for perfect fitment first time. Or budget minded and start cutting on the car.

You need:
Hood off of or for 2010-2012
Front bumper off of or for 2010-2012
Grill off of or for 2010-2012
(2) Bumper brackets
Headlights off of or for 2010-2012
Bumper lights off of or for 2010-2012
AND these fenders.

All the bulbs are the same for the halogen headlights and running light 05-2012.

The 13/14 parts are not compatible with the fenders?

They are. Just getting everything to do a 13/14 swap is gonna be a bit more difficult. THe upper mount for the bumper wont work or well could work just more drilling/cutting of the core support. If you wanted to go that route i would recommend doing the whole core support at that point.
