what is 2002.5 and how do u know

[djdanny5000]

ok i see people type that they have a 2002.5 p5 or a 2003.5 what does this mean and how do you know if its a .5 or not

2003.5 protege5s have a spare tire sub woofer and lost the roof racks. 2003 vs 2002 different wheels and 03 has a deeper and raised cupholders. now if your talking about MSP(which i doubt) different lip, colors, wings, speedo has a painted silver needle base thing, and shiftnobs? and darker rims.

I bought mine used but It has the spare tire sub woofer and the roof racks. Thought it was and 03.5 but am now confused.Maybe the previous owner just bought the roof racks.

 

[DE31]

it was optional IIRC because my moms friend bought a 03.5 right after i bought mine and was thinking of getting roof racks.

02 - white faced gauges, no fender sidemarkers, fliplid cup holders, rounder spoked rims
02.5 - metallic faced gauges, fender sidemarkers, open faced cupholders, straighter spoked rims

2002 and 2003 rims are also different!

 

[DE31]

ahhh thats why i saw a 02 protege5 listed on cars.com that looked like it was an 03. makes sense now.

 

[AbsoluteSwed]

anybody has a picture of the white gauges in an 02? also have seen black gauges, anyone know where i can pick any of those up?

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i used to have a pic of mine

 

[MP3Architect]

i thought the black gauges were only on the sedans

 

[Captain KRM P5]

i thought the black gauges were only on the sedans

black faced gauges are only in LX and DX sedans yes

Isn't there some production month or VIN # that breaks 2002 into 2002.5 or 2003 into 2003.5 or is it just particular feature differences? My production month is June 2003. Seeing as how new model years come out in Sept or so, does that make it 2003.5? It does have side markers/deep open cup holders but stock rims were not on it even though it was new from dealer with only 30 miles or so.........

U can put a roof rack on. Mine's an 03.5 and it has no roof rack, but there are these 4 removable caps on the black trim on the sides of the roof (where a roof rack would be) that cover where a roof rack would mount.

Does someone have pic differences between the 2002.5 and a 2003? I have no subwoofer, and a standard roofrack. However, I am having third gear popout issues, and if it turns out I have a 2002.5, I can use the service bulletin deal to get them to fix it (they can't recreate the problem (boom07) )

i think 2002.5 & 2003 are the same. also, 02.5 had the tweeters in by the rear view mirrors.

shift knobs are also different.

 

[aMaff]

what's the difference?

 

[DE31]

if you have an auto 02.5 has sportshift or whatever they call it. and they replaced the ugly automatic knob in the 02s with the MP3 shift knob (which i found out was in some? RX-7s as well.)

 

[aMaff]

ah, I've got the 5spd, hence, I didn't notice lol

 

[iLisa]

In a 5 speed, the shifter knob on the 2002 is different than the 2002.5..
