Difference between US and Korean Built Elantras

A couple weeks ago my son had a minor accident and bent the front edge of the hood on my car. The bumper cover was damaged a few years ago by a piece of tire in the road and I had just stitched it up with zip ties.

I was planning to sell the car, but figure I should replace or repair the hood and bumper cover on my Elantra to make the sale easy and get the best price.

I'm having trouble finding a used bumper cover in the right color, so I was going to order an aftermarket and paint it. I'm finding that there are two versions of the cover, depending on the build location for the car (Korea or US). The US one is under $80 and the Korea build version is almost $250  

Does anyone know what the different is and could I make the US version fit?

or does anyone want to buy a Elantra with minor front end damage? It has 172k miles on the chassis,  trans was replaced at 65k, and the engine at 95k under warranty.

The sticker on the door jamb will give the year and month of production. That&#;s really all you need to know.

There is more than one door jamb sticker on modern cars, so the particular sticker that he needs to view could be mounted on the front passenger door jamb, instead of the driver&#;s door jamb. The month and year of manufacture will be displayed on a door jamb sticker on the OP&#;s car, and he just needs to locate the correct sticker.
