2011 rogue grill and bumper ?

[TRANCEBOY]

hey saw the new rogue and loved the front end

has anyone tried to upgrade?\


body looks the same but wonder if installing it can be as easy as removing the old and adding the new


anyone know what will go into this upgrade


i think the fogs are different wonder if the plugs are different then the older lights

any info on this ?

Nobody has tried this yet. The 2011's have scarcely been out. I am not even sure if the parts are available yet either.

We have no idea if the parts will directly swap. Nissan could have changed the mounting points for the bumper for all we know. With the Krom, it was easy as it was based on the existing Rogue. This time around, Nissan has made several changes.

[TRANCEBOY]

YES the parts are out
i was quoted 260 something for the bumper

100 something for the grill

and 100 something for each light

from what I saw the bumper is the same size

is their any place i can find the info on the mounting locations for the bumper ?

Possibly from the parts diagrams at the dealer. You can also check the service manuals. The links are in the Rogue Glossary:

the-official-rogue-faq-information-answ ... 07234.html

But if you are looking for detailed measurements, etc that tells you 100% for sure... it won't be possible. Only the engineers at Nissan have that sort of information.... and it's not available to the general public.

Grill and bumper....hmmm.....Can anybody tell me who own '11 Rogue if grill is removable? Because I'm thinking what if we could get a grill from '11 if it's removable and cut out older model then it would be unique front bumper. Older style bumper and newer grill. Uhhh?

[ErMasta]

You might have something going Leo..they are quoting him as if they are sold individually...maybe they do come separated...

The grill IS a really nice upgrade. But wouldn't be worth it to me to put a whole new bumper on just to get it (the fog lights are a nice upgrade, but nothing I've got to have). Just the grill, however, that would be nice to put on. But with the pre-2011 grills being non-removable I don't see how this is going to happen barring actually cutting it out. And that's not a solution I would be happy with.

The one thing I think is definitely achievable is that chrome piece that covers the "bump" above the rear gate release, right where the little black button is to unlock the car on SL models with the intellikey, just below the Nissan badge. My dealer checked the computer and could only come up with a part that cost ~$250. He and I both figure this isn't just the crome overlay, but something more. So... it's still unknown what that piece will cost and if it will fit - although from my quick look, it seems to be the same size/shape.

Here's hoping for the aftermarket vendors to get on this. A little more (tasteful) chrome on the back and the grill would be my venom red rogue look the way I think it should have from the factory.

[TRANCEBOY]

Ill let you know how the conversion will work. and if the parts will fit.

Im just concerned about the bumper switch and where the holes to screw the new bumper are. By the outside from what i checked
both bumpers are the same.

And the new grill looks super nice. I hope i dont spend the money and it doesent fit

[Leo2005]

I have requested a quote about 2 weeks ago but they asked for vin number. I saw new rogues on dealership only today and just sent a reply with vin number. I'll let you guys know as soon as I get a reply. Since I had a chance to check out new rogue today I found that headlight is a little bit different. They putted some kind of a bubble on turn signal area. I don't see a point why they did it but it will be tougher for those who wants to tint the headlights.

[TRANCEBOY]

Well I have a hook up at a Nissan dealer
In a few weeks im gonna get the bumper and grill

Ill try to get the best deal if you guys are intrestead

I just hope the bumper and grill work.

Oh leo added Chrome Turn signal bulbs that turn amber

they look really clean inside the headlight.


I saw you mentioned the different headlight, think that will affect the bumper ?

[Andybond]

Any news on the 2011 bumper/grill? I'm also hoping to replace my 08 bumper with "Murano looking" 2011 front...

[TRANCEBOY]

nothing


got the money but i dont want to buy the bumper and then
remove old and try to add new one .
then replace the old one and take the new one for paint



we need to find someone who has a 2011

i say ill give 25 dollars to the first who can test and see if this fits

[Andybond]

Just went to our local Nissan dealer and got a quote for 2011 front: $251.43 for the bumper asy (62022-1VK0A), $ 123.90 for the grill radi (62310-1VK0A), and $51 for the nissan emblem. The parts guy said that everything underneath is going to match the 2011 bumper, but he is not sure about the lights dough. They should get 2011 Rogue in next week so he is going to check that for me. Btw, if you have a friend who ons a body shop, then he can get these parts with 25% discount...

[Andybond]

Don't forget the pait job too. I got an estimate from one shop $170 for the bumper, so add that to your final quote. But guess what I'm going to do... I will place my old parts for sale on Craigs list...

[TRANCEBOY]

Andy so the bumper will fit ?

andy your add does not say if it will fit or not ?

as for the fogs i think they are different
i just wonder if the harness of the old will work with the new

i think they quoted me 125 per light

[Andybond]

I can't say for sure whether the headlights have the same shape or not. The guy at parts said That everything else is the same. He didn't mentioned the fogs dough, but I think the old ones (if you have any) can be used. I'm waiting for the 2011 Rogue to showup at the dealer lot so I can compare the lights. I will let you know next week. I figured that whith all the discounts, and if I will be able to sell my original parts, It's going to cost me approx $300. I think it's well worth it.

[Leo2005]

I checked the bumper yesterday. Screws located at the same spots. Fenders are exactly the same like older ones so shouldn't be a problem.

[Andybond]

Leo, have you noticed any difference in headlights shape?

[Leo2005]

The headlight itself is same except there's some kind of bubble on turn signal area at the top but overall the headlight is the same.

[TRANCEBOY]

super good news leo

i imagine the grill snaps on the supports it

humm

ill have to wait and figure it out

ill buy the bumper in my next paycheck

[Andybond]

Done! I ordered my 2011 bumper cover +grill. I didn't get the Nissan emblem dough, because the sales guy wasn't sure whether the grill comes with it or not... Anyway, we actually went and measure the headlight.. Besides the bump it's the same headlight. I will Dave to do some mods to adapt the headlights dough.

[TRANCEBOY]

Andy post when you get it

how much did you pay for the parts

also did you check the fogs to see if they where the same ?

[Andybond]

I Paid $321 for the grill and the bumper, that is after 20% discount. Fog lights are different. The older fogs have brackets and a different leans shape. I will try to modify the brackets on the old lights.

[TRANCEBOY]

thats a super good price

damn dealers in miami wont even give you
the time for free .
Do you guys know where i might get these parts at a similar price ?

[Andybond]

I would call a few online OEM parts stores (such as www.partsfornissans.com) and ask them whether they can get these parts for you. They are 20-25% below the MSRP price (which is even lower than the dealer sales that parts). I bought my Subaru parts from the similar website, and got everything in a week for 30% less than our dealer quoted me.

[TRANCEBOY]

Super awesome

Ill check

I get payed on friday and gonna order the spoiler but plan on doing this conversion in 2 weeks

let me know how everything goes .

Only difference its gonna cost me a bit more money because im gonna buy the fog lights and do the
light HID conversion all at the same time.

I am just very worried about the color match

What should I look for in a good paint place ?

[Andybond]

Received my stuff today:

Brackets are different from the 08 model. I plan to use my old ones to adapt my 08 fogs.


Bumper should be painted tomorrow, so I hope to have it installed by Sunday.
Btw, paining job is going to be free for me too… had a deal with a shop owner to exchange services…

[Andybond]

[TRANCEBOY]

AWESOME ANDY

Hey where does the grill bolt onto ?

[Andybond]

Yes, the grill secured by clips only. The new grill is about thwo to three inches shorter than the old one, so to answer Leo's question whether you can cut the old one and replace it with the 2011 grill - no it wouldn't work...
