    If you switch to a 2011 bumper, yes.

    Highly doubt the contours are identical enough to allow you to just put the lip on.

    You could buy a 2007 lip and a 2011 and go to town with a plastic welder if you wanted to mold the two together.

    I'm thinking the same thing, but you never know. Maybe somebody who runs a bodyshop, like Orangecrush, will get 2011 in with some front end damage and can make a quick comparison.
