OEM 2013 Front Bumper Can be Replaced with 2012?

The fangs are still there, they are just a bit thinner and black now. Here is a quick Pshop where the fangs on the a stock 2013 bumper are color matched.

Did you pshop the whole bumper (that's seems like overkill if you did) because the color match from the bumper to the hood is horrible.

I forgot who did the pic, but he just did the fangs.

I've got an 09 and I just put the 2013 front bumper on. The only issue with fitment is the washer fluid tank. The passenger DRL gets in the way. I own a body shop and had my guy just melt the tank a little so it molded to the back of the LED. Also, the DRL's alone are $470 each. And that's my price with a 30% discount. Not exactly worth it.
