Long shot for sure but I figured I would just throw this out there. Got a Deep Impact Blue 2016 V6 and want to convert it over to a 2018 front clip. So that would include but not limited to, fenders, hood, bumper, radiator support, turn signals, and headlights. Just seeing if anyone out there local with a 2018 wants to convert to a 2016. Again I know this is a long shot but figured I would try!

Wow, that is seriously a longshot.
Search for a rear ended 2018, and plan to repaint.
FREE bump!

Your chances might have been better if DIB was an option in 2018. I'd never do it though!

How are you going to make it work? The cars are physically different.

Structure is identical between cars. Body panels are different. No different then swapping a hood or fenders really. The only real difference might be the plugs for the lights but that would be an easy fix.

Make no mistake! This is not a simple swap. But if someone wanted to do it I would be willing to trade parts. Since DIB isn't an option for 18, it would have to be wrapped or painted. Again, not simple or quick, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Why would anyone want an 18 when it's an ugly duckling? Your 16 is light years better looking. That 18 hood is the worst. No fog lights and tailights are no better either.

I actually like the top half of the 2018 design. It's the lower half of the bumper that's not that great.

I love the 18 front end. I feel just the opposite, and feel the 18 front end is much nicer than the 15-17 front end. The 18's do have fog lights.

That's a good argument why someone might want to swap with him.
