Ap1 and Ap2 differences
I know the first thought that came to your mind was "SEARCH NOOB"
But my question isn't as basic as you think.
Aside from the headlights/taillights and bumpers how can you tell the differences between the two?
Like what are some body line differences etc.
I have noticed that on some newer Ap2's the front end is a little bit longer/thinner.
I'm asking this because I want to be able to determine whether an S is an Ap1 or 2 even if its an Ap1 with Ap2 parts.

open your hood, look inside: if your spark plug cover is gold, ap2; if it is black, ap1.
Is the trim around your gauges light grey/silver or black. If black, ap2.
aaaaaaand the number one telltale sign of having either an ap1 or ap2: 8k or 9k redline? 9k = ap1. 8k = ap2

Umm...wheels are 17" instead of 16". The center console is different. The door panels have triangular instead of round tweeters. And I believe the valve cover was changed from black to red. And the exhaust tips look better. The radio door may be slightly different looking. Did I miss anything guys?

he's asking if the body lines are different
the body is the exact same, other than the front and rear bumpers only
this is why the headlights and taillights are plug and play. if you removed the bumpers, headlights & taillights, put the top up, and took off the exhaust tips & wheels, you could not tell the difference between ap2 and ap1
the only differences have been named in this thread already
