I don't believe so, and for two reasons.
Discussions on this topic have mentioned that the '02 versions (along with the obviously cosmetic changes) are dimentionally taller than they're earlier cousins.
This is born out by aftermarket Taillamp manufacturers who have seperate products for the different years within the 6th Gen range.

God! I figured that if there was anyone that knew about 6th Gens, It would be you.
Considering how much you've been crawling around that car of late

Haha... It may just be that since AFAccord has a coupe, he was unaware of the size difference for sedans. Unless I'M the one who is not aware, and the coupe tails are different too, haha.
