90-91/92-93 Trunk Styles

[DanCan]

Ok, so I was wondering what is the difference between these trunk lids? I read comments about "I`m gonna do the 92-93 trunk swap, and vica versa. Are they talking about the style that has the amber up top with the reverse lights built in(hard to see them) Or the style like mine, where the amber is at the bottom and reverse lights are white... I have no idea, lol..
Can someone please explain, and or post pics to help me understand this?

Thank you

on the 90-91's the lock placement is different as well as the light orientation. (i'll post pics) the 92-93 sedan and coupe tail lights are different from each other.

90-91

92-93 coupe

92-93 sedan


many people do a trunk swap to be able to have RED/CLEAR tails and they don't make any for the coupe so they swap on a sedan trunk and can get those tails. some people just like the look of the 92-93 tails better.

EDIT: if you want to see the wagon tails, here they are. now i didn't see any pictures that made the 90-91 tails looking different from the 92-93 tails in my google search but here is atleast what i found for you.

^ That's pretty much it right there.

9091 sedans and coupes share the same tail lights and trunks. Red clear tail lights are readily available for them all over ebay.

9293 sedans have a slightly facelifted trunk/tails, which to many people looks better than the 9091s. Red clears also available for them, but they seem to be harder to find than the 9091s.

9293 coupes have a trunk lid and inner tail lights specific to them. The trunk lid will fit on any 90-93, but it's the inner tail lights on the trunk lid that are unique, and there are no aftermarket ones made for them. If you have a 9293 coupe and want aftermarket tails, you'll need to swap your trunk from another car.

Personally, I think the 9293 trunk/tails are the best looking of the bunch.

All wagons have unique tail lights and are not interchangable with any sedans or coupes.

To do the trunk swap is completely straight forward. Unplug all your bulbs, and pull the wire harness out. Unbolt the lid from the hinges. Remove your lock if you wish to reuse it in the new trunk.

Then put the new trunk on, bolt it up, run the wire harness back through, install your lock and you're done.

So I'm assuming cb7 tails have the amber actually molded into the lenses and its not just a piece INSIDE the tail light?

[Honda_Lady]

yes that is right FatManChunk in the DIY section i believe it is, someone tried to make red clears out of the OEM tails and that removes the reflectors. basically you have to "chip" away the color and it didn't turn out too well for them (if i remember correctly)

I would go dig around in other sections but im limited to BEGINNER and for some reason my post are stuck at 10 even THIS is like my 12th post TODAY.

[Honda_Lady]

you can still LOOK at other sections (i think, don't hold me to it) even if you can't post in other sections. the only sections that add to your post count are Beginner Technical/Performance,
Beginner Appearance, and Beginner Audio/Electronics. the other two sections (Beginner "Off Topic", Beginner Image Gallery) do NOT add to your post count

you are very welcome i'm glad i already have a sedan so i don't have to swap a trunk for red/clear tails lol

[DanCan]

I`ve seen those before but those Accords that Kamaccord posted are CleanAsF*ck!!

And BTW Crazymikey, I love that OEMasF*uck, I laughed so hard the 1st time I seen it...good thinking

Ok so the 90-91 is on the left and the 92-93 is on the right? The amber on bottom looks so much better IMHO.

my 92 coupe with 92-93 sedan trunk swap

[FatManChunk]

Thats hot shit. Good thing Im hunting down a 93 sedan at this very moment so no swap for me.

Are those 18 inch rims with stock suspension? Im asking because it looks pretty nice, I have a coupe also, but I have 16 inch rims and I dont know if I should lower it or just go for a bigger set of rims, and I was thinking how would 18 inch rims look on stock suspension. If anybody has any idea please let me know. Thanks.
