the headlights' corners are slightly different shape...

of course, the facelifted ones have factory coronas, AKA Angel Eyes...

if you can see the roof, the pano roof was on the facelifted ones, even though regular sunroof carried on from older to the newer versions...

those are the visual cues that i can think off... the changeover happened with the 2004 model, if i am not mistaken...
