Replaced sedan chrome with koup black grille and will fit with some work . It is not a direct swap proceedure . Pull front bumper off completely and trim/remove some areas but i found it a worthwhile effort .
I didn't find this to be true at all. I posted this in another form some time ago, but there is 4 small stubs that stick out in the back of the grill where the screws go in from the behind, and also 'pop' into the fender. the ones for the koup have 2 that are placed lower on the top, and because of this, it wont fit. What I've done is saw it off (its plastic) and the glued it higher up and then it was able to fit in. It's a bit difficult to explain without pictures, so once I go home I can post a picture explaining it. That being said, even though its not 100%, it can be made with little effort (saw + crazy glue).No. That post is referring to the chrome trim around the grille. I'm telling you the grille is a 100% fit swap. No modification. I have a Sedan EX and a Koup EX grille sitting in my shed that I test fit a few months ago.

I should also note that this was from a 2010 koup grill to a 2010 sedan, so maybe they've changed it in the later models.
oops, sorry. I meant bumper.Fender? The grille doesn't touch the fender.
When I installed my fog lights I took the '10 Koup grille I had and put it onto my '10 Sedan. It was a straight swap. Maybe I got a miracle grille or something.
