You'd basically need the following from 2010+ model:
Bumper Cover, lower bumper grilles, Headlights and Fog Lights, Main Grille, Bumper support bar, Windshield Washer Tank

Should be around $3000-4000

I was about to say you don't need the fenders! I missed the bumper support bar! I'll keep that in mind!

I'm a bit skeptical because the headlights alone costs $2000+ at the stealership. There's no way the conversion could be done at around $3500, even if you're doing the labor yourself. Nice if you have the money though.
