Personally I think the LCI M-sport looks better than pre-lci but then you have to do hood and such. But you cant go wrong with a unique color as SGM

I'm assuming that's your car in the photos. What's the bumper you currently have? Some posts here suggest it looks like the stock bumper with splitters. Where did you get the lower splitters? My bumper is trashed in that area, and if I could find splitters to install on the bottom it would look significantly better (and more cost effective than getting a new bumper).

Are you saying that installing the LCI M-sport front bumper requires modifications to the hood? I ask because I have a 2011 in SGM and like the look of the M-sport front bumper, but I assumed it would just swap with the OEM bumper.

The OP has a pre-LCI car and wants a LCI bumper. Which means he would technically need a new hood and grilles. The bumpers will interchangeably fit, but there would be an ugly gap between the LCI bumper and non-LCI hood.
