SI had rear disc brakes and a sunroof. not sure what else is different but those are the 2 most noticeable. although they can both be put on the HF

The best way is the VIN
JHMED8= Hf and Dx
JHMED9=Si

Not on USDM CRX's they didnt. I have owned 2 91 Si's and 1 91 DX and all of the mirrors were the same.

Also about what someone said above about the tachs the DX and the Si's gauge clusters are identical well that is of course unless its an automatic DX. The HF is the one that has the lower redline than the 2.

I would say your best bet is like someone above pointed out look at the VIN number cause pretty much anything could be added but I would say that if it had a body colored sunroof (not glass) that it would definately be an Si cause I highly doubt someone would do all the work to add an Si sunroof when they could just get a glass panled one installed for probably cheaper than trying to mount in an OEM Si sunroof.
