Hi, TAL, nice to hear from you.
According to some reviews from foreign websites, there are only a
few differences between the 2003 and 2004 versions. Most noticeably
are the front grille and bumper.
The 2004 version has a curve bar bending towards the Honda logo, a
sharper tail-end for the head-lamp, and outward "teeth" on the
bumper next to the fog-lamp pockets, giving it a shark-like
appearance. The 2003 one has a horiz bar instead, orange-tinted
signal lamp cover with a rounded tail-end for the head-lamp, and
inward "teeth". Putting them side-by-side you will know what I
mean. Other than some other minor upgrades or changes (not too sure
about the details), both are practically the same car.
So, after some deliberation, I decided to go for the 2003 version
when its price was tagged at 74.5K in early April. Considered quite
a steal 
Dun have too much bargaining
power as the SE said he "barely earn much" from clearing these old
stocks. Only got the leather seats. Hmm... wonder if I was too
"kind-hearted",.... or simply stupid?
