    I think he means from his 2013 to a 2016+, but yours looks good!

    I'd be interested to see how this looks too, but I would think the 3rd gen front is too "sharp" looking for the 2nd gen body.

    I would think swapping the box sides would complete the look a bit more as well, since they sit higher on the 2016+ to match the higher front end.
