Ive seen plenty of people swapping out the ap2 rear bumper for AP1 as well as the AP1 slave cyl. Looks are all subjective as you know. But I happen to like the ap1 headlights/ taillights and bumpers better. Only things ap2 on my car are the valve spring retainers and I wouldn't have it any other way 
I like the Ap1 Headlights and taillights better than the Ap2's. If I could change anything about them I'd add LED lighting, but I like the simplicity of the two lights and value that more than the LED's in the Ap2. I also Have JDM Ap1 headlights and they by far look better than Ap2's. Simple and uncluttered.
When I first saw the Ap2 bumper I thought it be better looking than the Ap1, but now as I see Ap1's done correctly I'm wavering on that idea. Ap1 styling stands on its own. I can appreciate it and am looking forward to putting my car back to a stock front (came with Ap2 front facia).
I don't know that it's better, but I will say that it is the best of both worlds.

I've owned 2 AP1s and neither had a problem burning excessive oil.

I like more the ap1 bumber and Light
3/4 off the 2000 change you talk are cosmetic change
ap2 is more easy to drive for the mass
Ap1 is for real driver
But the f22c is a really a great engine
Got my02 ,43k miles
With unknow stealership oil burn 1and half in 3k
With amsoil 5k miles burn 1/3 quart
Really depend on the oil you use

the 09 is easily the most appealing year to me.
I own a 2006.
and ap1s are kinda meh, the 9k redline is w/e. I like the extra torque the f22c gives and its proven to be faster at the wheels.
The dated exterior, dated interior, arguably slower, less reliable, that the ap1s are. eh. but 9k and the rawness!? eh.
