Question can you swap base bumper for sport bumper? 2010 LX model

I'm a new fit owner and I didn't know the spot model had fog lights when I purchased my fit. living in Vancouver where our seasonal fog is being replaced with seasonal forest fire smoke, I was wondering if it its possible to find a 2nd gen fit sport bumper and swap my base bumper with it, then wire in fog lights. Is it just bolt on or would I need to drill holes or get mounts?
I'm new to cars in general and was maybe thinking checking out junkyards or craigslist for part cars to source one.

Thanks in advance.

been really enjoying the fit thusfar!

You can get fog lights for the non-sport bumper. Part # 08V31-TK6-100

The Sport bumper bolts on with no issues. You can also buy dealer optional fog lights for your standard bumper as said above.

I don't think my base bumper has slots for those, hence why im looking for a sport bumper. However this is still good to know for when I need the fog lights if I make the swap.

Base bumper, no obvious slot for fog lights

I read elsewhere you still need the sport grille, are there other bumpers I can look for that fit onto the GE?

Fog lights are not the same on Sport and base. Look at this thread for a picture of the base fog lights: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...it-2013-a.html

You have to cut the holes. There are markings on the backside of the bumper of where to cut. The part # I showed earlier are fog lights for the base model.
