That's just the exterior differences.


Also, the 90/91 have automatic seatbelts.

[sleepygreen]

without a trunk conversion the 93 has the signals below the brakes. the 90 91 are above... right? the front bumbers are also differnt...90 91 has a black plastic grill and the 90 93 has the bar? rights?

[Brad92accord]

He just said all that......

From looks, its hard to tell.

Unless its SE then you know its either 91 or 93

VIN #'s tell all.

93 SE Sedans came with Pass Side Airbags, 93 SE Coupe did not. There was no SE in 92, nor did they come with pass side airbags.

Correct me if im wrong, but 93's only had LX, EX and SE. All of which had body-colored side mouldings... I could be wrong on that though.

Aside from VINs, i dont think the 9091's had any real major differences.

Again, correct me if im wrong, but i think the 9091s only got the f22a1 and a4. The a6 wasnt introduced until the 91 SE. Also, i dont think they made 90 wagons, did they??

I think the wagon debuted in the 91 model year.

[MikeW]

Well, there ya go. 90s only got sedans/coupe, all with only the a1 and a4.

91 introduced the wagon AND the a6.

9091s also had the center-mounted E-Brake handle.

I believe the 92 EX introduced CBs with Rear Disc Brakes.

I wanna say each year/trim level also got specific paintjobs.

92 DX had Black Bumpers.

Im sure theres more...

It isn't hard to tell at all. There are various differences that allows you to differentiate 90-91s and 92-93s

Differences from 90-91 to 92-93

- Front Grill (Very noticeable)
- Front Bumper ( Very noticeable)
- Rear Bumper (Barely different)
- Headlights (Not very noticeable either)
- Taillights (Changed in 1992 but Coupes' are different from Sedans') (Obvious)
- Corner lights to fit the new headlights properly (Not noticeable)
- Seatbelt (Obvious if you're sitting in it)
- Mirrors (Not 100% sure about this and if they are different it's not noticeable. I tried fitting one from a 92-93 on my 91 and the adjustment arm would fit properly)
- Steering Wheel w/ Airbag

Recognizing DX, LX and EX

DX: No A/C, Manual Windows, Manual Locks, No Sunroof. (Also apparently came out with unpainted bumpers.
LX: Added - A/C, Power Locks, Electrical Windows and Mirrors.
EX: Added - Electrical Sunroof

Every one needs to reread the first post, he wanted to know if you could know the difference between 90-91 and 92-93

NOT 9091 to 9293

Well in that case... NO! Not besides the VIN# or label. I even encountered problems with the VIN# on eBay once when I was selling my other CB. According to the VIN#, it was an Automatic while it was Manual. A swap is possible but in the case of that car I really don't think so. It also said it was an DX while it was an LX.

He wants to know the difference between 90s and 91s.

.......................

Then the difference between 92s and 93s.



As i mentioned:
90: sedans/coupes. f22a1/f22a4.
91: ADDED: wagons, SE and f22a6. (Maybe even Rear discs/sway bar)

[did the 9091 EXs have the same stuff as the 9293 EXs?. i.e; sunroof, p/w, p/l, etc...?]

92: EX, LX, DX, Wagon. (EX brought rear discs..?)
-ADDED: Airbags, non-auto seatbelts, physical difference, etc

93:ADDED: SE, body-colored mouldings. (SE sedan had PS airbags, coupe DID NOT)

Also, in 93 i think they dropped the DX

Only the 1993 10th Anniversary and SE models had body colored molding, but the rocker/lower lip molding was still black. The DX/LX/EX had black body molding. There was a 93 DX.

90-91 was more color issues than anything. Also, in 90, the LX mirrors were black, while the 91 LX mirrors were bodycolor.

In 93 the automatic shift knob was black...in 90-92 they were matched to the interior color (except for ivory, which got black).
