10th anniversary body panels

I've been searching around and I can't for the life of me figure out where the 10th anniversary stands in terms of body panels. I know that it's pretty much 1/2 an S4 and 1/2 an S5.. From looking at pics of my car I'm positive the front bumper is an S4 but are the fenders? The trim is S5 style?Any other weird quirky things about the 10th I need to take into account besides the bronze glass? And does anyone have any pics of these so called "light squirters" that I'm apparently supposed to have had that I've never seen/heard of before today?

I've been out the RX7 game for a while but I want to bring my 10th back to life this spring. Any help would be appreciated

The car is an S4 all around the body. There is nothing S5 about the car, unless you're considering late S4 changes that apply to all S4s.

The trim is not S5...hence why it matches the S4 bumpers. The headlight washer nozzles are probably long gone due to your FMIC; the reservoir gets removed to run the piping. If you flip your lights up you might still see the holes or squirters on the bottom of the headlight bezel.

As mentioned above, there is nothing S5 about the 10AE. The headlight washers were standard and were borrowed from the European and Canadian market 7's. I'll take some pictures today of the headlight washer nozzles and filler neck for the tank and post them up for you to see.

The dash frame is all S4 and the black dash is very unique to the 10AE as it's all S4 and has none of the S5 mounting changes. Every body panel on the 10AE is S4, to include the bumpers and taillights. The taillight plastic is molded in white instead of black for the 10AE, but is still from the S4 mold.
