Main differences between a 97 ITR and the later

I'm looking into buying a 97 itr.. Just wanted to compare them to the 98+ and know teh significant differences. By teh way .. I live in Vancouver BC. So canadian Spec.. (I think we have a few differeces)

BTW.. I did a search and since 97 is only 2 characters nothing showed up.. nothing under 1997 either.

The differences between the 97 and 98's are:

Acura badge on steering wheel instead of the word "ACURA"
Different bumpers, headlights
Inside trunk release deleted from 98+, but able to open hatch from rear with slider latch on them
Different rear calipers on 97, compared with 98+
Tailights all red on 98+ as compared with amber/red combo of 97's

Plus some other stuff I know I'm forgeting.

RS model Integras came with rear wipers though, so the hatch glass could not have been shared betweeen the two models.

EDITED, please excuse my early morning idiocy

RS model Integras came with sunroofs though, so the hatch glass could not have been shared betweeen the two models.

RS's are the only model that didnt come with sunroofs i believe.
