Is it possible 2011 front clip swap to 2013??

[LambFord]

I have a 2011 and the front clip is smashed. I need to replace all the front end parts. Fenders, hood, headlights, bumper, radiator and mounts. I am about to buy a 2013 that is flood damaged for a heck of a deal. Before I buy the car for $1000 I am trying to find out because I am changing out everything on the front clip. If the 2013 front end will fit and if I will be ok to go ahead with my plan.
So please if someone could help me out and give me some knowledge. Can the 2013 front end fit on my 2011 taurus? Please if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you

Yeah you should be able to put the 2013 front on your 2011 since your getting the whole car. Just becareful and take your time.

As long as you are swapping all of the parts you have listed, then yes.

Don't forget the upper & lower grille assemblies from the 2013 as well.

Otherwise, good to go.

Absolutely I will post the pics of the car for you. The 2013 is being delivered and should be here Wednesday so by next Saturday or Sunday I should be done. All of my buddies are doubting it's going to work. They all say it's impossible because it's 2 different generations. Also called a few different Ford dealership body shops in Minnesota and no one can give me an answer if I can make the front clip work. The only place I have received an answer is here. So we shall see

Ford really didnt change anything behind the cover. Since your getting the whole car, should be fairly painless. Can't wait to see it when finished.
