MCS and MC aerokits the same except the rear bumper?

looking to buy MC aerokit.
does anyone know if the side and front will fit a MCS.

The only difference is the rear bumper?

You can swap any of the bumpers and side skirts. Like you said the only bumper that is model specific is the rear bumper of the Aero kit. You can even swap the rear black moldind of the MC and MCS bumpers to use those on either model

Thanks for the info.

what you mean the rear black molding? You mean the bottom piece of the molding where the exchaust is? but won't it be a hole on the right side for a MC if you put a MCS molding on to it?

Yup! Backup sensors and notches cut in the bumper to clear the cabrio's tailgate hinges.

The black trim on the standard [non-aero kit] bumpers, that is That said, while they can be convinced to swap, it's not a perfect fitment. The shapes are slightly different so there are tiny imperfections in the alignment.
