Rear Bumper Conversion: From Pre-LCI to LCI

I am considering updating the rear bumper from the black hard rubber of my 09 (pre-LCI) to the painted 2011+ LCI. Would this be a direct bolt on or will there be other components necessary to complete the job? Thanks in advance.

I have 2008. I think that I would seriously consider painting the pre-LCI bumper rather than replacing the bumper. There have been posts about doing that replacement and I don't think that it would be worth the trouble.

Replacing the rear tail-lights is a different matter. I love my LCI tail-lights

Hmmmm.. Thanks for the input Brian.. Yeah, I've already done the LCI tails. So I can agree with you on that.
