RD 1 is badged as "Tiburon" which include 97-99 models.
RD 2 is badged as "Turbulence" which includes 00-01 models. (02? Cant remember if they made it in 02.)
Should help you out there.
As far as you not liking the pre-2003 Tib body style.... I dont see how you cant like it. But meh, thats your opinion. They just look so damn perty with a clean Veilside or this :
