02-03, the grille is easy to change. much harder to change the ugly front end of the other years. Easy to shave the trunk, and boxy look pwns all

02-03 es for sure. grill for 02-03 is ugly yes, very easily fixed. bumper is not center of attention in the back. The headlights do not look like an accords. It is more boxy(matter of personal taste).

Yellow paint, black interior similar to evo's, it has best body style, Similar to EVO look, Shaved trunk and nice ground effect. If you modify 03 OZ, some people will think that it an EVO so in my opinion, it is the best one ever.
+1...i was so happy when i purchased it...just got off the truck too haha

I agree, but that's only because I own one

Well the year and price obviously; I believe the suspension, the oz rims, the factory kit, and the spoiler? Someone also said the tail lights. And I think clear corners on headlights.

Correct me if I'm wrong or lacking guys, which I probably am.

02/03 ES are best looking IMO.
Just loose the front silver grill and swap with IX emblem

The 04 has the fugly evo 8 look to it... no offense.. it's either love or hate it.

06 is alright..

The 04-05 body with the license plate on the back bumper and eyelids would be the perfect lancer. I wouldn't trade my 04 ES for an older one...or an 06 one cause i already have the best one.

The '02 is the best. It is the first, and the dents on it give it style. Oh wait those probably aren't stock.

i got a used 02 cause i didnt like the look of the 04s at the time, its definitely a more aggresive look, and i dont know why everyone hates the 02/03 grille, it makes it unique, but i did paint mine and now looks way better
