You got a TS bumper? Have any pics? Also, what do you mean bend the headlight supports?
Yes, I have a TS bumper. Yes, I have pics, but not with the bumper on the car. Yes, the headlight support bar had to be persuaded.
But not much. This was in order to have the lights fit completely flush with the bumper. The car is not put back together yet. When it is, I'll be making sure the light alignment is 
I don't want to jack the thread, so here's a link to my progress.

Ever since I did this conversion I've been getting PM's still with questions. I don't mind helping out, but thought I might be able to clarify a little more on the front bumper cover conversion - and add a picture on these corners that need shaving.
Here is a PM I got a few minutes ago and my response.

First, I just wanted to say thanks for the pics and description on your conversion.

you guys have any issues with the 04 headlights having a gap between the light housing and the fender?
I just had mine done and i there is a slight gap. Is it supposed to be like that or can it be adjusted?

I updated my 03 to AP2 today. The installation was fairly simple.
The rear bumper is easy except getting the sides of the bumper unsnapped, no easy way to do that other than pull and hope it doesn't break many of the tabs. You'll need to make 1.5" spacers to attach the bottom bumper mounts to the chassis. I used some Ikea plastic pieces that I had laying around, screwed on with Ikea screws and some large washers. I added one extra sheet metal screw under the right rear tail light to keep the side of the bumper from bulging out like all stock S2000's do.
The front bumper wasn't too bad, you just have to cut the bumper bar. I used a Dremel tool with one of the large fiber cut-off discs. That seemed safer than using my Sawzall in such a tight space. The Dremel actually got through the metal pretty well, I wore out 2 of the discs in the process. I cut the bumper foam with the Sawzall.
