What exactly are the visual differences between 1G and 2G pistons. I bought some slightly used ones and the look exactly like my stock 1g's and they aren't usable anyways. I'm just looking for everything to complain about, because I got screwed over. I'm also sure the "narrowed big rods" aren't so narrowed after all.

I did this (2g pistons on a 6bolt 1G), and it worked great. The extra compression and a boost controller turned out a decent amount of power from of the engine.
The pistons and machine work came out to about $300, so I saved maybe $100 off aftermarket forged pistons. If I had plans to ever put a big turbo on, I would have gone forged.
