Swappable body panel thoughts?

Some of my most sought-after mods for my '13 BRZ have been functional, yet beautiful ones. The '22 seems to bring a lot of that in their front and fender vents, functional side panels, and rear bubble butt.

With the very similar profiles between the models, how likely is it that we'll see '22+ panels on '13-20 MYs...or even aftermarket parts that mimic these?

We have already had numerous theory crafting threads about what is swappable and the exterior is pretty much already determined to be incompatible, unless you're concerned about rain guards. Every single panel has a totally different shape, even the roof panel. 1st gen, integrated side skirts - 2nd gen, separate, etc.. Same profile and overall shape doesn't mean much..

The aftermarket has addressed every vent or aero need for the 1st gen already. The 2nd gen parts most likely wouldn't fit anyway. AND I'm sure some company will replicate the bumpers from the 2nd to the 1st gen..
