[DelSolSI-96]

I want all information from year to year changes in the body to the motor to the suspenion. Pics of all sorts pimped out and anything that can give me usefull information on Civic Hatchbacks from 92-99. Websites that are dedicated to them would be great any clubs sites that have all the info listed or anything thanx.

92-95 is the 5th generation. The front headlights are two pieces, the headlight and corner light which is used for the turn signal. You can see what I'm talking about in this pic

and then the 6th generation civics, 96-00 have one piece headlights like this one

for the rear lights, the 5th gen civics have a two piece taillight set up, seen below

the 96-00 have a 1 piece taillight that's kinda like a teardrop seen below. On this car thought, they have a taillight cover, you can see that part, most cars don't have them, so just imagine it without it.


now we're onto the body, the 5th gen civics have a pretty smooth body as seen below

and then the 6th gen civics have a body line, you can notice this starting on the front fender and going all the way to the back of the car

and then the back window part. On the 5th gen hatches, the back window is more straight up and down compared to the 6th gen hatches.


and as you can see on the 6th gen hatches, the back window is shaped at more of an angle than the 5th gen ones

and then onto the front, on the 5th gen civics, there is no front grille between the hood and bumper as you can see here

and then on the 6th gen civics, there's a grille between the hood and bumper as seen below

I think that's a good start, anyone care to add on.....
oh yeah, and here's a ton of 5th gen pics, mostly hatches, but some coupes and sedans http://www.jdmvtec.com/images/hatchgallery/

I just noticed this but the stock 6th gen Civics don't look like they have a place to put foglights in.

Foglights? The 6th Gens still have the grill bars like the 5th g's right? I dunno, Im askin.
If they do, get a hand saws all, be careful, and cut out the middle bar and mount on the top bar.
that's if the grill on the 6th g's have bars like the 5th - again, dunno.
