Default Complete list of differences in an EM1 and EJ8?

So far I know the obvious stuff such as:
Motor
front lip
wheels
gauge cluster
seat color
red climate control bulbs


Is there anything else? I just totaled my B16 swapped EK hatch but the motor is fine and I have a '00 EX with the stock y8 in it, but Im gonna swap in the B16 and Im also getting some EM1 wheels soon by Friday. Ordering either a GSR or Si guage cluster, and getting some LS seats I hope. Is there anything else I need to do to make it look like a real EM1 other than changing the VIN lol? Oh and I've already got a Mugen front lip so that's not an issue. Thanks guys

1: EM1's especially the color beg to be stolen.
2: Gsr cluster wont work without overly exerted effort.
3: LS seats will also require modification to fit in your car (also making it not look like an EM1)
4: Mugen lip doesnt look "EM1"
5: Why go through the trouble? Just drive an EJ8 witha b16 swap. Not a wannabe EM1. They look too similar for anyone but a H-T goober to tell anyway.

Also came in Flamenco Black and red (don't know the exact name of it). Also, the rear bumper is different and the tail lights are red/clear.

I know that the Mugen lip doesn't look like an Si lip...Im just saying that that was one thing that you didn't have to name b/c I've already got that lip, no sense in buying a EM1 lip. And the seats are not hard at all to put in. I had LS seats in my hatch that I put in myself. GSR gauge cluster just requires a little cutting/splicing or soldering. I just meant if there's anything else I forgot about that I haven't changed yet, what can I change to make it not look like a regular sohc civic. I knew about the rear discs but I didn't even think to put it down so thanks for reminding me And the color isn't an issue. I like the thought of having a green Si. It could be cool. Anyway, thanks guys
