Only way to figure it out is with the vin just enter your vin in the section asking for it http://www.hondapartscheap.com/southbay/jsp/home.jsp im sure you can just google civic vin too

your trim is noted in the vin.

2hgXXX where XXX will notate your trim.

I would guess that the trim is on the title, registration, and insurance card as well.

It being a B7, i would assume it is a DX. Cx came with an 8v B8. Vx came with the Z1. Si came with rear disc and a Z6.

assumptions are tough as all D series motors are easily interchangeable and swapped regularly. i did see a Cx, with AC, and Power steering, AND leather about a month and half ago. i assume it was an option on all trims.

My '98 Y8 has a VIN on the bottom, right where the header passes under the engine. The transmission also has a VIN near the engine code (which is on the engine).

You could always get a VIN inquiry done at Honda. That will tell you the serial number and original engine code as well.

Or you could type it into several different websites.

Your chassis code (4th-6th digits in your VIN) should also help give you an idea of the trim level.

It doesn't always say.

Even my title says:
Year: 1988
Make: HONDA
Model: CH
Style: 2H
Series/Body: CIV2D

That's for a CRX HF btw. I'd have to go out to the cars for a registration, but I don't recall they said my trim level either.

A/C was available on all '92 - '95 Civics. In all Cases other than the '94 - '95 EX sedans it was installed at the dealer after the car arrived. It came in a kit and was listed as an accessory. Until '94 no civic had A/C installed at the factory, only at the dealer level.

Power steering wasn't normally available on CX/VX models (other than Canadian CX automatic models where it was standard) Not sure what the story there was, most likely swapped in at some point.

Leather was handled as a dealer option at that time. The car came in and the dealer sent it out to a local upholstery shop to have the seats and sometimes the door panels recovered in leather. '92 only CX (and possibly VX) models came with vinyl seats and door panel inserts though.

Are the OP's seats actually leather or are they vinyl? I've seen the vinyl before.

run your vin on a site like this: http://www.decodethis.com/

it should tell you the year, country of origin, accident history, model, submodel ect..
