Stillen Classic Front Lip 00/01 vs 02/03 question

Don't know if this question been answered (tried searching but didn't find any).

I did some research and found that a Stillen Classic Front Lip of 00/01 is different from 02/03 one. I like the looks of 02/03 ones, but I have an 01. Is it is possible to still use the 02/03 ones on my 01? Do they happen to have a look-alike of an 02/03 for an 01 model? I don't want to convert to a 5.5 gen front... read about it and seems to be too much work LOL. Or do I just have to get a 00/01 lip instead =(? Does anybody know any cheap places or used ones?

Thanks for any help!

you can't use an 02-03 stillen lip on an 01 bumper without some modification...so if your willing to modify a little bit, then go for the clean 02-03 lips

other than that, you are stuck with an 01 lip

What kind of modifications do I need? Could it just be bending the 02/03 lips to fit the 01 bumper and drilling some new holes?

If you look closely it would be a little more involved than that.

Would switching to an 02/03 bumper (and maybe the grill) do the trick w/o having to change the fenders or anything else? I really like the clean looks of the 02/03 Stillen Classic Lip.

Do you happen to know if I'll need to make more holes or does the screws from the 01 bumper fit in the same spot as the 02/03 ones?
