YES, it can be done, but there is some work involved.
If you do this, please take pics and show us how you did it.
Here's the link to the details of what's needed:

....why not get a new 03 at a great price, you should be able to find one pretty easy. If you are getting the 04 for the 5 lug, instead of 4, the 5 lug can easily be swapped over from an RSX....just a thought

people seem to forget the 04 has some suspension and steering improvements too. i would change the tails or paint the lenses red (where appropriate). you may consider getting some EDM or JDM tails that have the factory rear fog. i know i will be when i get my EP.

You're right on the suspension/steering issues, though I am still waiting to read a thorough comparison. Wouldn't it be funny if their "improvement" was to mount the tie rod on the bottom side of the strut, instead of on top as it is now?
