Default No difference between 2002 and 2003...

From what i can gather, the 2002 and 2003 S2000's are IDENTICAL and have NO differences what so ever. There were no upgrades/changes to the 2003 model year.
Is this a valid statement?
Thanks!

Late in the 2002 model year, they upgraded the oil jets in the engine so early 2002 cars don't have this while all 2003 cars do.

In addition to changing the interior of the white to tan, they also brought back silverstone as a color.

I guess I'll be the crusader for MY2002. 2002 is when a ton of changes were made including the glass rear window, tweeters on the doors, chrome ring taillights, slightly darker finish on the wheels, a few color/interior changes, different ECU, and probably a few other things that I can't think of right now. I'm sure there's a faq somewhere on this site that lists this stuff. The oil jet change that happened late in the 2002 production run is all I can think of right now that really differentiates 2003 from 2002 even though there were some 2002 cars, including mine, that have the upgraded jets.
