Default White hatches in 97?

Where white hatches produced in 1997. Saw this one posted and says it is 97, nothing mentioned about painting it though. I checked Honda and only show the following in 97 hatch colors.

Dark Amethyst Pearl/Gray

Roma Red/Black

Vogue Silver Metallic/Gray

Granada Black Pearl/Black

I think the owner of that car mite switch the taillight from a 96-98 Hatch and put it on his 2000 hatch. only 00 have the color white for the hatch replacing the purple.

I've actually seen a white 96-98 stock Civic hatchback drive by one day. And I was quite amazed since I was always under the belief that white was not available on hatchbacks until 99.

On the Honda site White is only listed for 2000 for the 6-gen hatch. These are the only colors listed for 1999 there:

Dark Amethyst Pearl/Dark Gray

Vogue Silver Metallic/Dark Gray

Roma Red/Dark Gray

Flamenco Black Pearl/Dark Gray

whites came in 99 and up, that must have been painted, he wouldn't have switched the tail lights AND the hubcaps, because those are 96-98 hubcaps!

True..those hubcap are for 96-98, the owner could change those also..how hard can that get? Unless i see the front of that car, i wont believe if it's a 96-98.

Yep, I've only seen 2 of those in person. VERY rare. White is real nice though. Great color for a hatch
