how to identify the trim kit on my hatch

I was told it was a cx, but there are no badges on the car and i was wondering if there is a way to tell for sure. Isnt there something in the vin number that might tell me.
Thanks

Re: how to identify the trim kit on my hatch (soon2b)

check the engine code to be sure. also cx cars didnt come with any side molding or any power options. You guage cluster will NOT have a tach IF its a Cx also. Thats a good place to start.

Re: (litterbox)

I guess the best way to tell is by the valve cover.

Re: (turbogixxer)

a/c and pwr steering, etc are options, so that will not tell you, if its the original engine check the code,

cx are 8 valve... dx and^ are 16 valve

My VX doesn't have A/C, power steering, tilt, intermittent wipers, rear wiper, or side moldings.

I thinks others have said this, but just for the record i have a 94 CX with side molding. So don't use that for a reference. VIN# is the best way to go!
