Ive heard they have different headlights compared to the 2000 lights, if so what year will accept JDM CTR headlights im confused. I seen this 96 EK awile back for 200 bux, i called but they had sold already, it only needed an engine tranny and some interior parts. ---- >:(

1) the entire front end is diffrent,

2) the tail lights are red/clear rather than red/orange

3) ac controls are in a vertical position rather than horizontal

other minor details, not really imprtant, theses are the main/obvious ones.

there was a 96-98 ctr and a 99-00 ctr you'd get the headlights that correspond to your year car.

only difference is, 96-98 is OBD2a and 99-00 is obd2b
also the 96-98 front end is the one with one large hole and no vents and the more round headlights, the 99-00 has a smaller hole and two fake vent looking things.
the 99-00 has a rear bumper that has a sort of stock lip type deal built in, (it goes out instead of straight down) and the climate control uses the three knob design rather then the slide design.

oh yeah, and there were different colors that went with each (I.E. cypress green pearl ass opposed to forest green)

get the cheaper one. They basically the same car, if you like one look more than the other just give it a facelift, but which ever you can find that's cheaper (most likely the 96-98).
