Welcome Rodney. Look just above your passenger side headlight, there should be a tag with the build date stamped on it, that'll confirm it

I'd get that lip paint matched.

Be sure to list your future mods/plans, man. I (and I'm sure lots of others) hope you have coilovers in your future plans :)

Thanks! I'll get to that, only thing is that my current passenger side mirror I got from an 02 wrecking due to the accident. But i'll try find my old one.

Will do and yes most definitely coilovers and wheels :)

What do you mean? I said above your headlight, near the battery, not side mirror. Like this:

But.. The only 2003 that I saw, in the other thread, is a CL chassis which is only 4 cylinder. But in Australia they only sell the V6 in the CG chassis? Right?

Strong feeling this wont turn out to be a 2003.
