2011 scuttles on 2010?

Anybody tried switching them out? The 2011 scuttle look FAR better in my opinion.

Not really. Just a simple swap. The 2011 Justascuttles look MUCH better than the 2010. Looks like an easy switch, but was just seeing if anyone else had tried it.

Well I swapped my '11 chrome S scuttles to the plain black scuttles if that counts. Looks better imo.

I did the same thing. HUGE improvement IMHO, for ultra-cheap, and a 10-second swap on each side.

Thanks. Done with the (very mild) mods.. I like a bit of chrome and the stock appearance. While the factory aero kit was immensely unloved, it served my main purpose - body-color fender flares, factory-painted, for far cheaper than a port-installed & painted JCW kit would have cost.

Every time I go through the back-stiffness-inducing work of cleaning & treating my black trim, I think about getting the aero kit next time!

Glad you reported on this. My son has always wanted better looking scuttles on his 2008 JustaCooper, but didn't want to spend the $100+ to replace them. The '11 Justa scuttles will be a huge improvement (just ordered them from outmotoring -- less than $50)!
