the only difference is the chrome trim around the rear reflectors from what i've seen if you are referring to the non m bumper. now the diffuser at the bottom should be the same but you'll need to cut that section out if you plan on using this cf diffuser as well as some type of mounting hardward to keep it in place. i'm not sure exactly how they did it tho?

It's more of a m-sport vs. non m-sport than a year to year thing. The bumper covers are the same 2011-2016; the difference (besides the position of the rear reflectors) being the "diffuser" section. On the m-sport the diffuser is replaceable, on the non m-sport the diffuser section is fixed with just a molded-in "separation"; there is no physical separate piece like the m-sports. Like lsturbointeg said, you will have to cut that section out and then fabricate some sort of mounting.

yup! he's better off getting a MSPORT rear bumper and getting a diffuser that just snaps into place

What is the last 7 of your VIN? I can look it up and let you know what your car is equipped with and whether you can do this or not.
