Yep. It's pretty much a direct swap, I think the bolts for the control arms are different though.

Yea local dealer will do it but they need the car there to program it and no one seems to be able to tow it from our lot. I didnt think it would be that tough but apparently they arent well equipped lol also waiting to hear back from locksmith to come on site to do it at my place but they are still gonna be a week by the looks of it. And tired of her having my suv while the car sits haha
