2001-2003 'pre-facelift' CTR EP3:
Key exterior differences:
-OEM 4.3k HID reflector-type headlights.
-17" 5 Lug (5x114.3) wheels by Enkei
-Taillights. Similar to 02/03 USDM tailight except the brake and turn signal location is different. Also, turn signal area/lens is pinkish
-Red 'H's front and back
-Pre-facelift CTR front bumper w/ CTR front lip. Commonly referred to as the 02/03 CTR bumper. The front bumper is shorter than the stock USDM bumper.
-A USDM/CDM EP3 Si/SiR will need an OEM EP3R-spec front bumper/reinforcement bar ('rebar') and a modified rear bumper/reinforcement bar ('rebar'). **NOTE: OEM EP3R-spec rear bumper/reinforcement bar ('rebar') is not a direct 'bolt-on' affair onto a USDM/CDM EP3 Si/SiR.**
-Front bumper does NOT have amber bumper lights.
-Factory Sideskirts
-CTR rear bumper w/ CTR rear lip. CTR rear bumper/lip is the same from 2001-2006. The rear bumper is also shorter than the stock USDM bumper
-Rear bumper does NOT have red bumper lights.
-CTR wing (spoiler). This wing can be modified to fit the USDM EP3. Modification of the CTR wing is necessary because the rear hatch glass is different on the CTR compared to the USDM EP3. Most members will use an HFP wing.
-JDM CTR did not have sidemarkers on fender. When people refer to JDM sidemarkers they are referring to the sidemarkers found on the DC5 ITR
-Pre-facelift JDM CTR sideview mirrors are power folding.
-JDM CTR had a UKDM flag emblem in front of the civic emblem found on the hatch. The flag is a credit to the CTR being built at Honda's Swindon Factory in England.
- FULL Championship White (CW) was only available for the JDM market

The 30th anniversary is a more exclusive CTR. Only a 100 were built for each of the following colors: Red, Silver and Black. This was only available in the pre-facelift CTRs. The 30AE and 'regular' CTR differ from each in the following way:
