personally, i think they 02-04 models look more aggressive, and the 05-06 look much more classy. I liked them both equally.

Either way you'll be stuck missing/wondering about one or the other. The seats in the 05/06 will give you less to complain about though.

haha well i honestly thin k the 05-06 look WAY! better im also asking if it's easier to work with them because i know a couple things thats easier about the 05-06 that you don't need to cut out for the fog lights and the front emblem if you wanna replace it you can just take that piece off not like the older models you gotta take off the whole bumper but hey check out the RSX yourself heres a picture of the actual RSX that i want :]

ummm the 05-06 you still gotta remove the bumper to replace the emblems, but removing the bumper is like the easiest thing you can do on your car... takes about 3 minutes

I dunno. I guess I don't see the point in wasting the cash for the same exact car with a bit different styling. Yeah, you're getting a few mechanical advantages too, but it isn't anything head and shoulders better than what you already have.

Plus, if you trade your car in you're gonna take a bath. How much will all of this cost you by the time you're done?

Would it not be simplier to add a set of 17" OEM wheels and a A-spec kit to what you already have? Unless your car is trashed or something, I just don't see the financial logic behind it.

you dont have to take the bumper off on the 05-06 i did it in under 5 mins, the red H badge and the type-S badge but it helps to have 2 people

05-06 you can alsso put the front type-S badge on also wich looks sexy, imo the -05-06 look great and pissed off and the taillights are way way better, go with the 05-06 you wont be dispointed, because honestly alot of people dont really know they changed the look when i drive i get looks left and right like WTF is that? lol expseically VBP FTW!

don't have to remove the bumper for red h badges or the type s badge. ..to it the other way..remove the top six clips, and pulll back on the grill, gently of course, as far as you can without breaking anything. and just unscrew the A emblem and put in the new one..i did it for my JDM Type S badge..easy..

not true the new grills can be taken out of place without taking the bumper off, ijust did it a few weeks ago to put in my type s emblem. there are the clips on top that you see, and then there are two clips located on the inside that pop right out. once you get the two clips out it just slides right out.

the main thing about the newer ones is the gearing. either way, you could definitely 'upgrade' your car's looks and tranny and anything else you want - it makes more financial sense than trading the car in

if you have the money to trade it in and get a new one, DO IT!! No matter what you do to your -03, there's nothing like that new car smell

Dont do it man... That would be a waste of money... There are going to be a lot more cars coming out in the next few years, just wait and get something else later.. If you like the look that much, there are a few people who converted their 02-04 to an 05-06.
