I've had both styles (mp3) and I now like the 2003.5 better. I never was quite happy with the spoiler on the mp3. Kind of like a bat'a'rang boomerang thing. Then again, the 2003.5 could bet better as well. So, to each their own. I do not miss my fogs though, the front lip is clean and adds to the car, and now I don't look like any other p5/mp3/2003 msp out there. One look is more mature, the other more boy racer. So, whatever suits your needs and personallity better I guess.
