2012 Bumper Swap

[muffin_top]

The fender liners are substantially different between RS and L/LE. Mainly the shape of the front and the attachment points.

You will need the following:

Bumper Cover
Fog Lamps L+R
Fender Liners L+R
Upper Grille
Lower Grille
Fog Lamp Garnish L+R
Tow hook cover

All the hardware is the same, as well as the Toyota crest and reinforcements.

Sadly, this will not be cheap or easy.. :(

Could you explain with pictures HOW different it is between the RS and LE, possibly?

Because i have 2009 on my 2007. And the USDM bumpers were more bubbly than the JDM ones. JDM were flatter. For the 2012, the bumpers seem to have the same curvature for the USDM and JDM. Should be a direct swap...and like i said, might have to use a ziptie to bend and tuck the fender liner to line up with the hole/s.

Bumper swap is easier than changing the oil on the car or replacing headlight bulbs...mounting the US plates is also easier for 2012 owners than 2006-2011 owners, since JDM rear bumpers have a gap in the license plate mount area.

Expensive...maybe, depending on who or where you get it from.
