2002 - 2005 differences
Hey guys,

Just wanted to know what are the cosmetic differences between 2002 and the later models.. 2004.5 2005, 2006, 2007..

I have a 2002 and and I want to change the looks to look more 2005

I changed the mirror side blinkers (LED) and grill (4 divisions) and i have a pair of clear headlights on order. What else is there?

Thanks
