CD Question

Does anyone the difference in Cd (if any) between the 96-98 civic and the 99-00. If you are wondering what the difference between them, in 99 the civic got a new front end even though it was still the same generation.

i would suspect a greater difference would be found with the si lip. but its still an interesting question as the dc2 integra had a similar facelift and received .01cd off the previous design.

Take a look at the 96-98 (Silver) Civic compared to the 99-00 civic (Red)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixth-g...on_Honda_Civic
On the bottom of the bumper it a much smaller inlet for air on the 99-00.

What do you think. Would that make much of a difference?

I also was looking up CD numbers for the two different styles and found many variances on the web. Once I get it going I will have to do my own numbers.

im aware. i once had a 99 si.

i would think that the fake vents where the fog lights would go on the 99-00 would be bad for aero though...

i would think there would be a bigger difference between the body style than the face lift.

I concure with the body style. For my purpose though, I would think the new face lift would be better. Not?
