I finally completed my rear end conversion to get rid of all the 2011 style textured plastic and updated to the 2013 stuff. I had the parts freshly painted and the black parts on the 2013 parts hydro dipped to match my CF hood and SS spliter. Im still up in the air about adding the 2013 decklid blackout panel but so far i think its turned out great.

The pictures may show a little color difference but thats because the car is filthy from being caught in the rain and the new parts are all clean. Cant wait till this rain stops and i can get a fresh wash and wax on it.

Also, just for those that may be looking to do this in the future. There are a few parts that will not swap over. Like the foam impact part of the bumper and the stone guards will all have to be 13 parts to make it fit.

Looks amazing - that's a night and day difference IMO.

The results look 100X better than the OE look.

Congrats!!!! :beer:

How did you black out the rear emblem?

Right now its plasti dip. But I plan to take it off again and paint it black then hand paint the snake red. Going to do the same for the side and front snakes... but thats another weekend project.

Slow clap to you OP. First time I've seen CF gurney flap, license plate surround AND rear valence. It looks killer! Have you thought about CF mud flaps?
