Hi AVI LT,
There are many threads on this site about changing the upper cladding to the smooth EXT style cladding some with photos.
Basically if all you change is the center section with the larger light you will have a gap at either end if the section. Most have not chosen to live with the gaps so they then have to change out all the upper cladding pieces from sail panels inner and outer, to storage box lids and tailgate trim. It will run you anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 in parts not counting the purchase of replacement retainer clips since they tend to break when removing the cladding. You may also have painting costs to get the cladding the right color too.
 
Okay, Thanks alot Vaeagleav. Do you think the cladding from a 2013 Av with have a gap also?
 
Probably since it is EXT cladding (just became an option in 2011 and standard on the 2013 AVs ) .
 
Yup EXT cladding and the option for 2011 AV are the same.
