Thumbs up Ap1 Rear Bumper Compared to Ap2

How big the difference between Ap1 rear bumper and ap2's? I know alot of people who go single exhaust prefer the Ap1 because the exhaust ports are so big, but other than that i hear its really similiar. I want to buy a rear lip from another member here but it was for and is shown on an Ap1 rear bumper. Is the Ap1 and Ap2 to far apart for me to pull this off on my 04?

Picture at Bottom.

The ap1 bumper sits higher than the ap2 bumper. The exhaust holes are not the issue, the reason people go with an ap1 bumper is because it comes as a two piece while the ap2 bumper is one piece. When people decide to go with a single exhaust then all they need to replace the the bottom portion that has a single exhaust exit cutaway. Looks much cleaner that way when they run their single. Can't really do that with an ap2 bumper, well you can but it looks like something's missing because the other hole is empty.

AP1 Bumper is One Piece and the "exhaust cap" portion is not removable or replaceable. The reason why people go with an AP1 bumper is because of the option of a single cap, whereas before there was no option for the AP2 bumper.

I don't think those C-West style sides will fit flush, as you can see the AP1 rear is more smoother and relatively "flat". Where as the AP2 has more shape to it, especially the indent right next to the exhaust cut outs might cause some problems, but anything with a bit of body work will "fit"

Yea i dont think it will fit either, especially since the lip that exists around the ap2 exhausts.
