Different CL Years

Hi, Does anyone know what is the main difference between O1-03 CL Type-S? They really looked the same to me probably small changes?

thanks

01-02 are the same

03 has smoked head light, different tail lights, body color door handle, body color grille frame, no fog lights, thicker exhaust tips, and has 6 speed offering. Other than that, it's the same (engine, body frame, suspension, etc)

Thanks, for the quick reply I have notice those also. I though about the interior/tail lights. I saw many with different and with the same looks on 01-03 years models.

No, but it's been discussed a number of times... That's why I just linked the 4 or so threads that I found by doing a 30 second search...

If someone wants to research and post the "Ultimate 01-02-03 difference thread" feel free..

I believe that the '03 6-speed comes with my fat ass in the driver's seat.

I don't really know what is it called . I am probably gonna just make another thread with the comparison this weekend. If the moderators/admins plan to put it in the FAQ for people that is great....
