front bumper, hood, rocker panels, rear spoiler, and rear bumper.


edit: I can elaborate a little more if you would like, there is quite a bit of difference with all these pieces.

I couldn't pass up the chance to do some picture whoring!

oval fog light housing area and the big open hole for the heat exchanger, is the best way to determine when one is coming toward you.

^^^ +1 on the huge oval fog lights.. easiest way to tell. but once you become a fan of the 03/04 you will realize front bumper, hood, side skirts, rims, tire size, bumper, spoiler. ect.

Don't forget color keyed side mirrors, different side scoops and full red colored tail lights. Also the boost gauge in the instrument cluster in place of the voltage gauge.

2003-2004 Different bumper and spoiler.

2000 Cobra "R" is obvious, but you probably won't see these often. I've only seen one in person and it was at a car show.

And there is no 2002.

The 99/01s are easy to tell from 03-04s. I can really only tell quickly from the bumper the difference from a 99 or 01. 03s and 04s are identical. They offered some different colors between the various years as well. Like you won't see a Sonic Blue 04, but you may see a oxford white 03 or 04.

Easiest way to tell whether it's an 03 or 04 is to look at the key holes on the driver side. 03 is black, 04 is silver. Same with factory antennas, 03 is black, 04 is silver.

Easy trick to use if you forget which colors are which year.

And technically there are 02's, Australian cars, if you see one of these you will definitely know. 2 extra driving lights in the front bumper.

Thats good info. Yea never noticed that with the key holes. As far as the factory antennas. Man that was the first thing I got rid of. Figures the Australians would have an 02. They also have Summer in the winter.
