Looking to buy either a Dx or Si EF hatch. The only external differences that I noticed between the two is that the Dx has black bumpers where as the SI's bumpers are color matched. Are the bumpers different between the two, i.e, front spoiler on the SI? How about the taillamp assembly, are they the same?
Also one more question, does the Dx come stock with A/C, and does it have the 4 spd or 5 spd manual tranny?
Any helpful links or other input is appreciated

 

the DX could have come with A/C installed as it was an available option at the time
it also had the option of manual or automatic transmissions. i have seen 4 speeds in the DX but don't know about 5 speed manual

 

other visual clues on a bone stock 1991 Civic Si would be color matched mirrors, the glass moonroof and dual tip exhaust...

DX had a 4spd auto or 5spd manual, the 4spd manual was in the Std's

 

was there an 'HF' model also or is that model the std?

the SI had chrome tips also

a Mitchell book would be very helpful here

I'm pretty sure that there never was a hf civic. So the closest thing to it must be a std. Then again I know a lot more about crxs than civics.

same here. i could go on and on about crxs....

 

Si 91 is color matched and bumpers look way better only DX ive seen is Auto's and the HF is the lightest model for CRX not a civic

mirrors?!?! bumpers, yes...but mirrors?

 

In Canada, the 90-91 models had painted mirrors. All other Si models also had 14" rim/tires, front chin spoiler, SI Badge, power sunroof, mirrors on both sides (dx was an option), dual exhaust with tips, painted bumpers....thats all i can think of.

Inside....better seats, in black and door panels. Different steering wheel, and a gauge cluster with tach.

Mechanical...Si engine with mpfi, different geared tranny, sway bars in front and rear, and better gas filled shocks.

Hope that helps.
