Okay I'm in the market for EF sedan.
I would pick power steering over power windows or power locks any day.


1) What are the differneces between the sedan trims (besides weight, motor/tranny, ex with larger front brakes)

2) The black/unpainted DX bumpers.... are they the same as pained LX/EX bumpers? differences?

3) Did white ef sedans ever come with Black interior?

4) are there seat fabric (not color) difference between LX gray seats vs EX gray seats?

5) I've heard that not all LX come with PS.... I've also heard that some/rare DX came with PS? .... help me set it strait.


Thanks, Charlie

 

1) DX is a base model, no power options. LX was the same with power options

2) DX base bumper were the same as LX, just not painted. There are two styles 88-89 & 90-91

3) No DX or LX ever had a black interior

4) don't know

5) DX did have a p/s option, i had one


I live in Canada, so i can only help with dx and lx models....we never ot the cool EX model

 

im pretty sure this stuff is in the FAQ, or you could go ask the guys in the EF 4door squad in the group forum. they would know better.

 

incorrect, red dx models come with black interior. and some red lx models came with black interior.

 

i got a black dash out of a 90 DX. so tis true.
also i have an 89 LX, and it has power everything.
not too helpful, but i thought i would chime in lol.

 

i wonder if its different in Canada, i have seen blue, brown, and maroon interiors in our sedans

 

it must be. because we have black interior in our red dx models, and there isn't any black interior in any of our ex models.

 

here's the color of the interior of our red and maroon colored sedans here

 

quick question....

DOES 90 civic LX 5spd come with PS?

 

^^yes

 

check this out, i have a 90 LX which is almost done being converted to EX, but look at my rear seats...these are for a sedan EF but i'de love to know what trim, and yes this is the stock material.

 

^^ I'm going to guess those were EDM seats and not USDM.

 

really? i honestly have no clue...i had the matching fronts but got rid of em cuz they werent comfy at all. pics!

 

Don't quote me on this but those seats look to be custom upholstery.
The EX's interior is way cooler than the LX's it's the si version of the sedan models and yeah DX's and LX's came with black interiors only the rio red models that I know of,not to sure on the EX models since I've only seen a few,but I have seen a white EX with a maroon interior (ugly in my opinion)I just scored a black dash from a '90 dx and I'm looking for EX seats and door panels for mine.Every EX interior I've seen has killer seats and door panels Looks like eg si jdm seats.

 

1 Since you are comparing DX/LX/EX, then I will ASSUME you are talking about 90/91 model years, since EX never came in 88/89. DX is basic, no power locks/windows, manual mirrors, no cruise control, no tach, and no clock, but there were some that got power steering, not all though, my friends stock DX has it. LX had a tach, power windows and locks, cruise control, power mirrors, clock, and that's about it. EX's were multipoint injection, had larger front disc brakes, a larger MC and BB, different gear ratios for both auto and manual, cruise control, power windows and locks, power mirrors, clock, also had different upholstery on the seats. I still have my stock rears if you want a pic.

2 Same exact bumpers, just painted on the LX/EX.

3 No, Frost White DX/LX sedans came with blue interior whereas the EX Frost White sedan came in maroon SE interior. Only black interior sedans were the Phoenix Red sedans, and those only came in DX/LX trims.

4 I would believe so, since the blue and blue interior colored EX sedans had different interiors, but I have not seen the interior of a Charcoal Granite Metallic EX sedan, so I can not say 100%.

5 All LX trim sedans came with PS, however, the DX may have been a dealer installed option? I can't say for sure, but what I do know is as stated before, my friend has PS on his, and he did not install it, and the PO was an old lady that had it garaged for 7 years.

Man... Steve... No, he bought those seats from me, they were in my first riced out 4 door, they are STOCK in terms of original brackets and cushions, but they were reupholstered in grey pleather by the PO. Steve stop spreading wrong info please.

 

Please post some pics of your backseat!!

 

I'll try to post some on Friday, I'm off to work. Happy Thanksgiving!

 

i dont know about that one, my ex was a 90, and the interior was maroon, and looked just like all the cars, except for the power window/lock switches.

 

Cliped backed me up in his #4 answer blue on blue EX's had different interiors,those are the EX's i have personally seen and the white with maroon interior was the same as LX.I NOT trying to be a d*** I'm just backing my s***,I've been around 88-91 civics for awhile just new to forum.I also was hoping Cliped would post his pic of the backseat,so every one could see

 

yeah, i haven't seen any color ex other than white, because i had the only ex in my town that was regularly around, and it was also the cleanest. haha.

and not offense taken man, you're right in what you say, and i'm probably right in wwhat i ssay.

 

I know your right,I've only seen one white EX it was on seattle craigslist,the interior was the same as the LX's.The blue EX's I've seen were at Foster LKQ wreaking yard and the interiors were CLEAN,I saw the first one and was like WHOA it's got custom/jdm seats and door panels then i saw a second with the same seats and door panels.so i figured they just came like that .I'm KICKIN" myself for not grabbin' that stuff.It's Nice to meet someone who's not tryin' to start a pissin' match and who can share info.

 

yeah for sure, i don't wanna argue over the internet. haha. i've never seen a blue interior in a sedan. i kinda want to see it. haha. if it was good enough, i might upgrade my next sedan to it. (current sedan was totaled by a piece of **** drunk)

 

White EX had Maroon interior, not blue like the white DX/LX. Here is an OG white EX I looked at once...





I thought I had more interior shots, but I guess not.

My EX is blue, and as stated, they come with a different material on the inside. I know why RENO is saying his looked like the other interiors, because Maroon EX had the same interior.

Here is a White LX interior, don't mind the throw up, I had to drive that POS home one night when the guys I was with got drunk off their asses...

 

1991 ex sedan maroon seats

 

thats how my white sedan interior looked.

no thanks about that. i'd rather have black, or bright red. hhahaha

EDIT: mine was just a little more faded than that.
