Hello, my gf was thinking about getting an EP3 soon but she had some questions between the year differences. She doesn't know which year has which headlights and which year has which taillights. Can someone show me the cosmetic differences between the 02-03 and 04-05? Thanks, I appreciate it.

 

Here goes an 02-03 Ep.They don't have sideskirts and are 4lug and you will notice differences in the tailights and headlights:



Here goes an 04-05 with the sideskirts that come standard on them and 5lug.

 

02-03 headlights

04-05 headlights

02-03 sides

04-05 sides

02-03 taillights

04-05 taillights

 

@DrZFiNeSt the last 2 pics you uploaded didn't work I am guessing, they are showing up as a corvette.

And CuteAccord I am happy to see you got the replies you were looking for but next time you might want to try the EP3 forum which can be found here https://honda-tech.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32 Hope you find the car you want man.

 

My gosh, you guys are awesome! Thanks. Now I can help her look for one with confidence. With this information, it seems like some people have changed many things on their EPs to the newer form. But some owners seemed to have "downgraded" in the tai' lights to the older ones too. Should I be concerned? Is there a trend with the EPs to mix and match the taillights, side skirts, and headlights? Or could this be a sign of the vehicle being in a previous accident? Again, thanks guys!
