6thgen civics

I've been trying to do some research on 6thgen coupes as a possible project car.

My first question, is, besides the engine (b16), leather wrapped steering wheel, air dam, and 15 inch stock wheels, are there any other differences between the 99-00 si and the ex coupe?

Secondly, are there any other differences between the 96-98 ex coupes and the 99-00 ex coupes besides the headlights and taillights?

If theres a site (besides honda-tech) or any information you guys could shed on this topic would be greatly appreciated thanks

20 mm Lower and Stiffer springs and uprated dampers if I'm not mistaken along with a stock upper front strut tower bar and slightly better seats and better gearbox.

this is what I was basically looking for...I wanted the appearance of a 99-00 si (with the lip, taillights, headlights, stock spoiler, etc.). So if I were to buy a '96 ex coupe, and add those things to it, would the two look identical?
