Question bugeye to peanut eye conversion, worth it?

The exterior of my car is beaten up pretty bad and i've been planning to replace the bumper,fenders, and hood. Some say I'm crazy but, I prefer the peanut eye (2004/5) more than bugeye and I've been considering converting my 02 front end into the 04. I know the process isn't too difficult, and it has been done numerous times both ways.
So this leads me to my question: Would it be better to...

1) Search and scavenge through junk yards and on i-club for somed used parts.
2) Purchase the ChargeSpeed facelift kit. which includes EVERYTHING.
3) Buy the parts from Subaru
or
4) Post a WTT ad and pray someone wants to do a swap.


Option 1 is the most common. But it must be really difficult to find the parts and in decent condition.

Option 2 is probably the most simple but expensive way out
($3,022.97 to be exact)

Option 3 Might save me some money.

and option 4 is probably least likely gonna happen.

SO I-CLUB.... what would YOU do?
