Has anyone tried fitting pre-2020 vents into the 2020 bumpers ?

I'm looking to pick up a 2020 later this summer but not a fan of the new style vents with the body-colored inserts. IMO, the earlier vents look cleaner and flow better with the car. I've heard mixed reports of these vents being swappable between these model years, some say with some modifications, some say no reasonable way to do it.

Has anyone literally done this or has pics of this mod?

If this is not possible, there are 3 options...
1) Get the new vents with the Crystal Black Pearl-colored inserts so at least the vents look blacked out from a distance on my future 2020 Rallye Red.
2) Use pre-2020 bumpers on my 2020 ctr.
3) Just live with it.

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

I assume you guys are referring to both the front and rear vents as well?

I think I'm the only idiot swapping these vents in reverse lol. Seems like everyone likes the new vents heh.

Nope. I like the old ones on my 2017 better.

Are you friends with Chris Lowpes? This looks like a spot in his neighborhood where he parks his 10th gen and ep3 for still shots lol
The guy in the yellow is none other than Chris Lowpes LOL...he did a teaser video of my car and he going to do a full review on it. We are good friends.

Here is the teaser from that day.
