RS? GS?

Post by Gotts2BMe »

what are all the different models of these cars? I now have 2 of these cars and both were D badged. A 96 fully loaded v6 5spd car with all the power options as well as a mostly parted out 92 v6 5 spd car that I got from a wrecker for the rear bumper cover, tail lights, and rear hatch. The 96 is a TL (total loss) vehicle that I want to get back on the road again. Neither car has any badges on them. Is there any way to tell from the VIN number or anything? The 96 has a chin spoiler on the front which I imagine is the GS lip that I have read about on here? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

https://google.com/ can help.

search.php is a good bet also.

Do some reading on the home page of this site too. Yes the RS has a 4 cyl and the V6 is the GS model.
If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable!

one of the reasons I asked was that my 92 has what you guys call an "rs" spoiler but it is a v6 car. My 96 is no doubt a gs because of the front lip, v6, and wrap around spoiler. seen here.

this is just a pic of my 96 that will be getting worked on this summer...

That is a GS spoiler. The other GS spoiler was the wraparound.

RS spoiler is just the garnish, or the raised spoiler.

The rare one is the MS wing, only found on the MS MX-3.

then the rest is custom/aftermarket.

Oh the blue one is very nice! Very close to thee color mine might end up eventually. If you go herehttp://www.mx-3.com/oem/ it explains the different factory appearance options.
