2012 to 2013 Honda Civic Facelift HOW TO

This Civic was involved in an accident that required a new front bumper and grill, which created the opportunity to do a 2013 style facelift on this 2012 Civic LX. This is a relatively easy job, but some modifications will need to be made to retain the use of the 2012 hood. Below are the parts I used to do this job. This is also a good time to upgrade the headlights if the are fogged up.

[@snow4dv]

What a magic: corolla turned into civic!

[@JonAustin-pz8nd]

Do you know if this bumper would fit on a Honda civic si coupe 2012

[@phantom6799]

How did your hood get that half circle crease/scratch right in the center front? My 2015 has the exact same looking mark from when i bought it.

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

It's a 200k mile used teenagers car so who knows. 🤣

[@maykol347]

Can you put the grill without the original 2012 bumper?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

No. Totally different

[@user-nz4ms5oj7s]

But how did you get the color match

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Came painted that way.

[@euKOUKi]

What about rear? is the conversion possible?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Anything's possible but would require new trunk lid and taillights.

[@user-nz4ms5oj7s]

Is it still good ?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

Yes

[@jaideepsingh8008]

Can I replace the bumper of 2011 civic coupe into 2012 model?

[@JackofAllMasterofNone]

[@mr.cowell1]

[@mr.cowell1]
