Default Noob question :-) Can you install a post facelift bumper on a prefacelift car?

I know that the headlight washer systems, and hoods are different, but can you put a facelifted bumper on a prefacelift car?

Default I do not think it is plug-n-play...

the shape of the bumper is slightly different, along with the headlights, and the lwoer edge of the hood. With those differences, I am not sure that your pre-facelift stuff will fit over the post-facelift bumper.

Why do that anyway? There is really nothing to gain other than flush headlight washer caps and the lower chrome edged grille.

Default sorry to hijack, will the post facelift hood/grill fit on a prefacelift.

My hood is jacked up a little bit and would like the grill options of the post facelift. Thanks for the help.
