Voted 02-03's but i gots 02-03 CTR's i think they are the best. I got 04-05's floating around if someone wants them.

I like the 04-05 sprayed with Vans taillight paint, it looks more "vibrant" than the darker red color of the 02-03. Stock 04-05 tails just look altezza ish.
Heres are some pictures of my 2005 Civic Si with redded out tails

I have 02-03, but always wanted 04-05. Just like the way they look for some reason.

Vote 02-03, like my 03 but that 04-05 sprayed looks good also.
Hate that Altezza look.

I'm sure the whole "anti altezza" campaign over the years is sub-emotionaly pushing most people to like the 04-05 over the previous one.
I like the 04-05 over the earlier ones, they just look more modern...frosted plastic is so... 60's..

red out 04s look pimp! i got an 2002 and i like them. CTR ones are nice...but the difference is so minute....not sure if its worth the hassle.

He put tracing paper on the reverse circle and traced it/made a template using the painters tape. And yes i repainted the red part. I used two cans of Vans red taillight spray.
