Default What are the differences in 2001-05 EX Sedan?

I’m looking for a nice 2001-05 Civic Sedan. And from my research I found that the only difference in 2001-03 EX Sedan and 2004-05 EX Sedan is that the front bumper and headlights are different correct?
If I miss something on the differences please let me know so it will help me narrow down my options. Thank you.

The rear bumper and taillights are different as well. The headrests in the back seats of 04-05 coupes are height-adjustable.

There are some slight differences, but those are the only major ones, aesthetics.

The front crash bolts on the 03-05s are 16mm in diameter as opposed to the 14mm ones on the 01 and 02 model years. The 01-02s have different gauge cluster styles from the later cars, and the 04-05 Civics have smaller front sways than the earlier ones.

It's just little things like that.

The biggest non-noticeable difference is that 04-05 has a stock wideband O2 sensor.... for purposes of boosting and using Kpro, its a major benefit. If you dont have intentions of doing that, then its irrelevant, but the transmissions in the 04s and 05s seem to be much better.
