its a direct bolt on swap. no extra hangrs or anything. I believe you may need the ap2 harness if you wanna do the headlights but not sure.

bumper to bumper is not a direct bolt on.

you will need to upgrade to the ap2 fender liners and engine box cover under the bumper.

as for the headlights, you will need ap2 ballast or you will have to make mounts so the ap1 ballast will fit the ap2 head lights.

to switch from ap1 to ap2 bumper

you need to swap:

fender lining, crash beam, and splash guards

for headlights, have a bodyshop specially make a bracket for you to mount your ap1 ballasts to your ap2 headlights, or just buy the headlights + ballasts then you're set
