Simply this, the upper -most -edge of the .1 front fender rises and then falls gradually downward towards the "A" pillar ( as depicted in the computer screen curved graphic). The .2 fender's upper- most- edge rises and then simply plateaus all the way to the "A" pillar. (I hope that helps?)

Please look more closely, they are not really the same. (The photo is from a distance .)

I have....they are the same...whatever differences you are seeing are due to the reflections in the black.

Why don't you edit one of the pictures I posted in photoshop or paint and draw an arrow to this area you think is different since no one else but you can see the difference.

Very well, since I am the only one who can see this difference let's conclude that this subject is merely a figment of" my imagination" and end the dialog. Okay?

The fenders are exactly the same. Only the front bumper and rear bumper changed for new lights, and the doors got new handles.

HUGE images (right click and open image in a new tab and then zoom in if you want full size) both in a similar color, location and angle:

No way! In that pic you're seeing a plate on the .1 vs a SPASM .2... The fog lights are much cleaner and improved.

If I had a way, I'd take the .1 bumper with the .2 foglights.

Simply, .1 versus .2 : .1 rising and falling front fender profile.
.2 rising and plateauing front fender profile. No
