Yeah, do this. Just replace the headbolts with the money you save and voila!

why though? do you realize how much 1 headlight costs?

around $3,000 PER side.

The hood - $6000

then all the little stuff..it's seriously pointless and a waste of time trying to make it look like an older gen..just buy a <2011 and be done with it, get a tune and then you'll be fine

Interesting question. Perhaps you can keep the new headlights, hood and grill but change out the front bumper? Would be interesting to see. It is the front bumper and the side vents that make the prefacelift so aggressive looking imo.

Just a quick glance on ebay you can get the headlights and hood new for around $1800. Less if you buy used or aftermarket.

You guys just gave some useless advice. OP wants the nice new interior, and MCT transmission. He doesn't want an old version. He just likes the old headlights. Jeesus.

Well like someone wanting to retrofit the facelift headlights to the pre_FL car you would need a pre-FL hood to match with the pre-FL headlights. Why?
What's making the pre-FL front end more agressive is the bumper not the lights IMO.
Either way that would be a premiere... Do it !!!
