Yes. The AP2 bumper with the lip looks ugly. The lines on the ASM are much cleaner.

That color is also rad as hell. I wish that was offered over here.

It has nothing to do with what car I own. If I thought the AP2 bumper looked better I'd swap to it like a lot of people do.

The AP1 bumper with the lip is a much cleaner look than the AP2 front. The AP2 front is much more aggressive than the AP1. They both look good on different styles of cars but I'm a fan of the understated 'clean' look and I happen to prefer the AP1 set up. That's also the same reason that I like his choice of the ASM bumper over the AP2. Visually it's much smoother and flows better while still retaining some of the OEM lines. If you didn't know any better it could pass as an OEM bumper.

what if you had an ap2 instead of an ap1?..would you have switched to an ap1 bumper?
i have an ap2 bumper/lip...but i love the way the ap1 bumper/lip looks..especially when the H logo is shaved.

Im currently debating if i should keep my ap2 bumper or go with asm shine bumper.

to the OP..love the color and the bumper!!!

Yes I would have switched to an AP1 from an AP2. That goes for the rear bumper as well.

I do also have to say it depends on the color of the car as well. Red and black specifically can pull of the AP1 bumpers very well.
