Nope, i have an original MY99 and do not like the MY04 at all.

In my opinion the front and rear bumber are ugly, the increased ride hight is stupid, the front and rear lights are too cluttered, the new speedo layout isnt as nice and the fake alloy trim is just 'shite' also the all red or all blue interior is just way over the top.

I modded my car with stuff that i think makes it look way better than standard, but the 04 modifications seem purley to make the car more usable or have more mass market appeal.
increase ride height?? I didn't know about that.. the front/rear lights to me is just an upgrade to modern styling... and all red doesn't come at MY04s.. at least not USDM

The only thing I like better on the 04 is the LED's in the taillight. Don't like the whole taillight, just the LED part. Am I the only one who prefers the '00-03 headlights better?(with the clear JDM clear diffuser of course)

most of the people complaining about the lack of torque of the f20c were mostly american, therefore honda wanted to please us which in turn upset some in the process. you can't please everyone.

Bingo. Nobody else, particularly Jpn needs the 2.2L for now. Jpn's 2L makes just as much torque anyway, more or less...and has more hp.

There was news of the 2.2L coming down here for our 04's, but that never happened.
