External Differences between s4 n' s5 fcs'?

Sorry to bring up such a trivial question, but i was curious if there were any external differences between the series 4 and series 5 fc3s'? from what i've seen, the s5 have the cool rear lights and apparently a slightly different front facia? and also some sort of body colored trim line? ....
was just curious if any1 knew what else were different.
this' been bothering me for a few days now, cause i can't seem to find the information, and staring at cars really doesn't help either.

its all good, i think i saw something about side skirts too, but the main differences are the trim and the s5 front end, some have fog lights above the brake ducts, and the mazda logo on the front bumper is like an indentation instead of a sticker like on the s4

Go with a Turbo II you'll be much happier, and you wont be a poster with threads titled "how do i get more horsepower from my n/a"

i have no idea sorry, and i don't think there are any on craigslist that i have seen. There is a car dealership that sells nothing but rx7's somewhere around, but i can't remember the name right off the top of my head, i would have to ask my uncle.

you could also go to the NW section of rx7 club, and someone might point you in the right direction https://www.rx7club.com/nw-rx-7-forum-33/ it takes forever to get responses though.. lazy bums in the NW.
