Going from ap1 to ap2
There is one on ebay that is an OEM replica, but they have a really bad reputation and most people end up having to file a dispute to get a refund so I wouldnt even bother to save a quick buck. If you really want the OEM look I would just get the real OEM ap2 lip.
The rear installation is all strait forward, but the 2 brackets that are in the center of the rear bumper (holds the center of the bottom of the bumper secure so it doesnt just bend or vibrate when driving) they will be to short. Most people make their own metal brackets to hold it, but honestly I just put some zip ties through the metal brackets and through the bumper and tightened it so there so it is holding it up a little bit. It has worked fine for me, and it's easy to do.

I tried send you the PM man but it said I couldnt for some reason. Maybe your inbox is full?
Yeah I wouldnt bother with a different bumper. The good fitting ones are decently expensive, and still sometimes have issues. Also they don't have the spot for the OEM tow hook and you have to put mesh in the grill which looks tacky imo. The ap2 front looks great since it fits perfectly and the parts are easily replacable, and the lip is very cheap so if you ever mess it up it's easy to replace. No point in paying a ton of money for a part that will just be chipped or messed up in a few years.
