Default Can project 7/SVR bumper be installed?

I had a small accident and it looks like I will need a new front bumper.

I am wondering if it might be possible to order a Project 7 bumper instead. Would obviously need to order new grilles and a maybe a new crossbar.

The SVR seems to use the same cross bar as the R so that one would likely be less expensive to install. But don't know if parts are available yet.

I remember someone here posted a pic a few months ago of an R Coupe with an SVR rear wing on a dealer showroom. So clearly some of these parts must exist and be order able otherwise that car wouldn't have been for sale in the showroom with the wing.

Here are some pics which show what I am talking about with the SVR front bumper and wing. Actually having posted this it seems the final SVR wing is same as the one on this S but it also has end plates.

I still would prefer the looks of the standard nose piece sans crossbar. Maybe FrickenJag could fabricate a one piece grille to replace the bar and half grilles.

Wow, that spoiler looks terrible. I didn't think it would really look that bad, but it may just be the color. It really looks out of place and ruins the lines of the car.

The spoiler has been available since the 2016 model year started. I believe it was available as an option in certain markets, but i can't remember if the U.S. is one of them. Since the SVR isn't even announced yet officially, I promise parts aren't available. Typically parts for a new model aren't available till a few months after product launch.

As for the cross bar... on the project 7, the front bumper beam is still in place; its just black so that it blends in and looks invisible. In theory, if you had the project 7 front bumper and this bumper beam, you could swap both over and have the same look.

Here is the P7 cross bar. It sits behind the grill rather than in front.

The crossbar fits behind the grill on the standard cars as well. It'd just the hard rubber bumper that sits in front (mounted on the crossbar).
