Difference between 99-01 and 02-03

by **xavier** » Sun Feb 19, 2006 5:43 pm

Im getting together a list of parts that need to be replaced because of my accident.

Are the 99-01 hoods the same as 02-03?

Are the 99-01 fenders the same as 02-03?

Are the grills the same?

Im trying to decide if i should try to make my front end an 01 or just buy the 02 replacement parts. I have an 02 but the lack of parts is getting me down.

make the insurance company pay for the 02/03

fenders,grillle,headlights,headlight harness, fog lights, bumper are all different and more valuable

Fenders are the same. Everything else Rich described is correct.

Why does everysite list them as the same??? What's different about them? The corners round out the same.

heh cuz i cant find the parts for gen 1.5
i could let the insurance pick a shop and have them do it but i want to pocket some of the cash and put upgraded parts with a whole paint job

So are the fenders the same or not...seems about 50/50 i this thread. Every website lists the fenders as 99-03 which leads me to believe that they are the same. I think the slope at which the headlight and corner light meet is different

The fenders are the same no question. The only difference is the bumper, headlights and the cornerlights have a different reflector design but same shape.

All coupes 99-03 have the same fender if its a convertible then the fenders are different!

cool. Thanks. Yeah, the ragtop is listed seperately.
Thanks guys
What about the hood? Id assume that would be the same for either 1 or 1.5...
