Default AP1 to AP2

hey guys, I have a '03 and was wanting to add a few things to it. iv heard all about how the OEM hardtop fits really well, but not much of anything else from an AP2 or the CR's. i like the wings that are on the CR and was wanting to put one on mine but wasnt sure if it would fit just fine. also, would i be able to swap the headlights and taillights out? i love the LED taillights of the AP2's.

The AP2 Taillight requires three holes per side(to accomodate for 3 light sockets), your current AP1 has two holes. You would need to cut a space for the 3rd light socket on each side. I believe there is a sticky on the "Under the Hood" or the "Modifications" section. The AP2 Taillights still haven't grown on me, I think it's the orange in the light that kills it for me. I just upgraded my AP MY01 lights to the 02-03 with the silver rings and I love the look.

If your AP1 Headlights are shot because of light scratches, or oxidation (yellowing and hazing) you can go with a headlight restorer kit, I believe that 3M and Turtle Wax both make products for headlight restoration. I just used the Turtle wax version on my TSX and they came out awesome. Only cost me $8.00. If you've got broken tabs, cracks, then you SOL. I hope this helps.
