I rather like the sleeker squint eyes of the new Rebel.
Luckily the Rebel trim only has a few bolt-on parts to convert to the facelift exterior. You only need to change the headlights, the lower plastic trim below the headlights, which will need to be body matched and the revised grill, and except for the front bumper, you are pretty much there. I don't actually like the new tail lights. But having the outside looks of the face lifted Rebel but with the V8 sounds appealing to me.
Now if I can get that 14" screen and that passenger screen somehow, not sure if it bolts directly as does the exterior, it would be perfect.
