Many people have done it, and once you completed the conversion, you just want to sit back and enjoy the view with a smile on your face knowing you still have 9k rev

This is MY02, after I get the fenders painted I should be good to go

Ap2 trunk
Ap2 Rear bumper
Ap2 front bumper
Ap2 front lip
Ap2 headlights
Ap2 taillights
Comptech exhaust for Ap2
Carbon Fiber exhaust guards
Carbon Fiber seibon fenders
17" VS-XX
Megan coilovers

Conversion Details:

Front Bumper
: Bumper beam needs to be grinded down on the edges or replaced with an ap2 beam, without doing so could cause dimples which lead to spider web cracks

Rear Bumper: 2 brackets need to be made for the two mounting point underneath, the bumper itself might be a little wide on the edges

Headlights: If you are using ap1 ballasts, you have to trim the headlight where the ballast and the headlight meet to be able to pull the wires through the assembly. Secondly you must find a way to mount the ballast. Otherwise if ap2 ballasts are used, it is a direct bolt up.

Taillights: Extensive cutting will be needed, as well as a rewire.

MY02.

Ap2 front bumper, rear bumper, headlights, taillights, OEM ap2 wing, Ap2v1 wheels, ap2 dash controls, APR style lip for ap2 front, ap2 splash shields, Ap2 radio door, and Ap2 CR clear sidemarkers. I did have an ap2 center console but I actually like the feel of my ap1 one better for some reason. I'm also taking off my HKS exhaust and putting the OEM system back on with OEM ap2 tips.

I know I just posted these in my own thread, but it won't hurt to post here either. More to soon come.
