2003 vs 2003.5

BAH how many times has this thread been posted?!
but everytime I put the same thing,
2003 Spicy Orange :D
 
The only thing that sounds good to me on the 2003.5 is the darker colored rims...I wanted to add a carbon fiber hood, and I think the gun-metal look would be a nice accent to the car, especially with the dark headlight housing...I haven't actually seen the new rims though, so I'm gonna have to track down a picture.
 
I like the subtlety of the Grey, I didn't want the yellow because of the attention from cops/etc.. Didn't want the black because its just a pain to keep clean. Didn't want the orange because we've already got one, so grey just did it for me :)
 
After seeing the 2003.5's in person, I just can't stand the "stuck on" front lip.
Owning it would drive me nuts, I'd probably take it off.
It reeks of afterthought.
Spicy Orange for me.
 
titanium is a nice color, but 2003 has more features and cost less.
 
Yes, 1 color for me, 1 color for you, and 2 colors for 2 more people out there. Choose or pay $4-8k for a new paint job :)

I agree! And; why lose the fog lights?

So the 2003.5s don't look like repainted MP3s, like the 2003s do :p :)

uh huh.....except in the case of the 2003s, it's more like a wolf in sheep's clothing (if your comparing a MAZDASPEED to an MP3), and not an afterthought front end as the 2003.5s appear. But hey! After, I finally see a 2003.5, I might like it. As I have said before; The 'new' look of the 2003.5 sure as hell wouldn't stop me from buying one, and if I did it would be in Titanium. To each his (or her) own.
