Just wonderin'
Is there any differance in body shape in the 3rd Gen FD's that came to the states? I mean do the 93's look exactly like the 95's or are there subtle differances in the curves and overall look of the exterior? Do the touring models look just like the R1 models? Just wondering because I saw a black R1 FD the other day that was stock and it looked like the rear was more curvaceous than my 93' Touring... or am I just trippen? If I am... then I'm painting my car black in order to get that sexy *** shape! lolz ... Thanks in advace for the info guys...

I think the models with sunroof have slightly different curvature to the roof vs. models without sunroof. Also the R1 has the extra front lip.
You'd be surprised the difference that color makes. IMHO, certain colors seem to accentuate the curves and lines (white, silver, red), while others seem to hide them a bit (yellow, black, dark blue).

The replacement body parts are the same for all model years. The wings, front spoiler, and roof vary depending on the trim level, but not model year. Your gf could be referring to the difference between an R1 and touring or base trim, or maybe she saw an FD with body mods.

And while, as stated above, it's possible to have minor additions to an R model that are against the classical "R model" character (leather vs. suede seats, etc), a tan interior is absolutely not one of those possibilities. You can also see from below that there's no such thing as a MB or White R model...and no CYM R2s, for that matter (on R1s).

And now after this many years, who knows what has been swapped in and out.
