2013 base is the same as all years except has the oil cooler like the 2012.
2013 performance model comes with the different bumper with LEDs and red calipers.

Base vs. Touring vs. Sport all have the same front bumper fascia. Therefore, the '13s are all different than the '09 ~ '12 models in that regard (added LED DRLs and removed the "fangs").

Also - for the OP, there are other differences between the '13 version and the earlier models.

Going off the top of my head:
1) Sport model brake calipers are now red ('12 and earlier have grey)
2) Sport model suspension tuning revised.
3) The fuel/coolant gauge face is black on the '13 ('12 has bright aluminum finish).
4) Wheel designs (both Sport and Base) are different on the '13.
5) Rear bumper fascia is different but it's hard to tell what is different other than the fake fog light is now red vs. black.

As others have said, you can search for this info and it will pop up. But seeing as this is a 3-day weekend, I was feeling a bit generous.

To regular non car folks on the street, totally just on looks alone:

2009-2012 look the same
2013 - is that a 350z?

For all practical purposes, the car is essentially unchanged. They're just marking time to a new generation in a couple of years.

fake fog light is actually a real fog light now. There are also smaller things such as starting in 2011 the option for the rear camera on the rear view mirror and heated side mirrors.

ROFL, duly noted. I remember the first time I saw the Celica GTS body kit with the fake tail pipe. It could not have been more than a few extra bucks to just make a real one.

LOL, I guess

Much like the feminine GT-R.
