Differences in parts between 95-96 and 97+

I have an idea.

I'd like to make this thread into a list of parts that are different between 95-96 and the 97+ (and any other year-to-year changes)

I've gotten screwed a few times because I bought the wrong year's part and had to get the correct one. I'm aware that you can look in the different manuals, but we could make this thread a quick go-to for this type of thing.

I'll start it off:

95 vs. 96:
-Intake resonator


95-96 vs. 97+:
-Bose tweeters
-Cruise Control Steering switch
-Outer Taillights
-Trunk
-Front and Rear Bumpers
-Foglights
-Steering Wheel
-


95-97 vs. 98+
-Digital Odometer

Help me keep this going!

Practically everything is different. I could list 100 things without even thinking to hard.

Well, not so much true. Take the tail for instance. You'd have to buy a whole new trunk and then if you don't have a spoiler, it's a longer process etc etc.

Basically I'm talking about things that aren't a direct swap.

our cars (4th gen) is using the same chassis from 95-99 so everything is pretty much the same, just some things are diffrent like the lights and bumpers. but you can swap things pretty easy. only thing i kinda not sure about is that my 95 SE uses manual odometer and the 98-99 use digital (the thing that shows your milage) that might need some wire slicing

lights are bumpers are not the same but can be interchanged, sometimes with a little mod.
