Hey all! Getting ready to do a Pre-LCI to LCI front bumper/hood swap on my 07. I have a hood from a 2010 and picking up my m-sport bumper from the paint shop today. Curious, how would you handle the job?

Would you put the lci hood on first, or the lci bumper on first? I want the alignment process with the hood to go as ‘smoothly’ as possible. I was thinking the bumper first, but keep going back and forth. Any information or advice is appreciated. Thanks all!

They will need to be done at the same time since where they meet with the kidney grills is different and are not compatible.

Thanks for the response! Yes both will be installed the same day. I’m just curious which would make more sense, that’s all!

I mean it doesn't really matter--they'll both need a little adjusting to meet one another correctly. Like install both loosely then adjust to your satisfaction. Potayto, potahto
