I wouldn't say this thread has been jacked. I would say that 02-03 owners are just trying to convince the OP that the 02-03 front end looks the best.

Friends don't let friends convert to an ugly front end. lol

Go buy some. That was one of the few mods that I didn't regret buying.

IMO, stock vs. stock, the 04-06 is better. However, if you just get rid of the thong and get the cedia headlights, the 02-03s jump way ahead.

I agree with otter^^^ I am more fond of the 02-03's because it was the model that revived the U.S lancer market. The mirage was the only thing close to a lancer you could get up until that point. Although it was not the evolution, the 02-03 lancer marked the U.S lancer and lancer evolution boom and interest. Thats how i feel about that. Just to stay on topic, I think if you like the 04-06 look then get one. no need to convert one.

Everytime I hear the thong comment, it makes me el oh el. I was at work, and although Otter was being serious I just laughed, lol.

I'm looking at doing the opposite, I have a 2002 es auto but I wanna get a manual and I found a 2006 oz rally but I wanna swap the front ends so the 2002 front end is on the oz rally
