Default I'm doing the AP2 front retrofit

I got into a small accident (dumb move, about 3mph in a parking lot) and I messed up my bumber.

The body shop has no problem ordering AP2 parts as they cost about the same amount. I told them they need the bumper cover, tow hook cover, grille, and the splash guards.

I don't think they ordered the splash guards, but I understand you can modify them. Is this hard for a competent shop? I'd imagine some shears would be all they need, right?

I also want to confirm the AP1 headlights will fit the AP2 front. I hear the headlights are very slightly taller than the AP2s.

Make sure they shave the support beam otherwise your bumper will have dimples. Mine did. I had to remove the bumper myself and shave both sides...myself.

besides shaving the bumper is pretty easy to install.

I just went through this with my body shop. They didn't secure the fender liners correctly and my wheel caught it and ripped it completely off the car on the highway, not only did it wrap around the minivan behind me, it tore up my drivers fender when it ripped it out. Be careful.
