I'd prefer the 04-05.

But I think with a lip is the best solution!

The 04/05 JDM front bumper looks so cool it looks like it doesn't need a lip.

02-03 leaves the holes all on the bottom where the lip clips in, so it really needs the lip. go with the 04-05 front

yeah, the lip option does look better.... alhough if i get the bumper only.. then get the lip a year later, it'll feel like a new mod.. lol

Can't really see it in this pic, but CTR bumper will have foglight cutouts for the lip so will look pretty ugly without the lip. If you look closely at the outer edges of the "smile" can see it.

My opinion is the 02-03 w/ no lip.

i rolled w/ no lip on for a couple months, the shape of the bumper almost looks like it already has the ctr lip but it dosent hang as low

Put a smile on your EP by getting the 04-05.

the thing I don't like about the 02-03 is the holes for the lip that are very visible.
