bartkat Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 The biggest difference I know of is the shiny chrome tail lights on the O1's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyIS04 Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 Who would want there taillights chrome and shiny? lol no offense to anyone. But sure would not want that. The exhaust tip might be bigger. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8JuliusCaesar Posted April 22, 2004 Author Share Posted April 22, 2004 you are ok? right? That's the most important thing.What happened? of course you should get a replacement Lex! :chairshot: steviej well i was going about 85mph not that fast you know on the freeway and there happened to be a ladder in the middle of the left lane and i swerved to miss it but i turned too hard it being a split second decision you know swerv or run it over but yeah lost the rear end and she tried to get away from me so then i was skidding to the right then to the left and finally i hit the loose gravel between the pavement and the gaurdrail. with tires spinning went into the gaurdrail the whole left side is trashed i couldn't even open the door. the suspension is a lost cause, they estimated the damage to be more than the worth of the car lik $36,000. I was actually lucky because there was a six car pile up behind me and i think one dead and i just hit the gaurdrail. but yes i am okay, now just need to find another 01 that's worth the purchase with all defects and recalls fixed. I think the body styles are different especially 02 to 03 but 01 to 02 is not that different but still different and 04 are just getting to curvy for me have ya'll and spanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1UZ-FE Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 how long ago did this happen? i am from NC but recently drove to CA and found a ladder in the fast lane. this was a month or 3 weeks ago about. just wondering if it is the same ladder. The area where this ladder was, is that where there are a bunch of electricy generator wind things? just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr8JuliusCaesar Posted April 29, 2004 Author Share Posted April 29, 2004 welp 1UZ-FE it actually did happen about 2 months ago and if you were anywhere near SanJose on the 680 freeway it was probably the same ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Funny everyone like what they like I have slowly changed my tastes from liking chrome to only having small bits of it. I prefer the tails smoked and the armrest is a definate improvement. I would only buy an 02 and up because they have a n armrest. But i am sure someone will swap you chrome tails for smoked ones any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyIS04 Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I also got the dark emblems not chrome which I find to be very nice. Matches my wheels. Only chrome I really got is the exhaust. If you really want to call it that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
