Need opinions on 01-03 tail lights on a 05

Hey everyone I'm in the market for atleast one more tail light for my ssm 2005 coupe because my neighbor cracked it backing out, and I was wondering whether I should pay the $130 to get another 05 tail light from Honda or if I should buy 2 01-03 tails from a local shop for $80. I have always thought that the 05 tail lights were a little too shiny and chrome-ish but I was wondering if I would wish I had stuck with the 05 later on, so let's hear if you think the 05 tail is worth the extra cash.

I actually prefer the 01-03 rears... but the EDM ones are the best IMO (luckily, cos the're what i have lol)

get the 04-05, the older ones don't look as good, imo. a lot of people with 01-03 cars upgrade/mod to the 04-05 lights.
