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.
