Hey guys I was wondering if the front bumper of the 2011 Corolla would fit on my 2009 Corolla ? I have a 2009 Corolla S if that can help. Thanks in advance!

I did the swap on my 2010 Corolla S, changing the front bumper i had on my 2010 to the 2011-2013 front bumper out along with both my headlights fitting in the 2011-2013 headlights nicely with the new swapped bumper.

I had also added the JDM-zest front lip that they have out there for the corolla, looks sick!

Granted both my bumper and the lip are plasti dipped white (13-16 coats..for easy removal) to last me through the New England winter, i plan on getting both painted in the early spring time.

I HAD NO IDEA you could swap the headlights and bumpers from the 10/10.5 gen corollas!

I ALWAYS loved how the aftermatket headlights for the 10th gen were always WAY cooler than the aftermatket headlights for the 10.5 gen.. thing is I dislike the 10 gen bumper... I WONDER If you could put on your 10th gen headlights and keep your 10.5 gen bumper, by just shaving away parts of the 10.5gen bumper to accomodate and fit the 10th gen headlights since they hang a little lower... has anyone tried this?

I'm sure theres a way but that would be alot ot work..that's why I just swapped out my 10th gen bumper for the 2011-2013 corolla s front bumper to accommodate the new headlights.

But to answer your question, the 10th gen headlights will not fit correctly with the 2011-2013 bumper.

And the 10.5 gen front bumper is honestly a direct fit..no needed altercations are to be made. Not many people know of that

I love how mine came out! Another person in my toyota group did the front end bumper of a Camry swap haha thing looks mint!

The lower portion of the Corolla S bumper had to be slit with a few notches to accommodate the Camry SE front lip, he did mentioned that it was time consuming but looks awesome as a result of the few minor modifications to make it work out.
