my 93 eagle talon tsi(awd), i was wondering how to tell the difference between 1GA and 1GB?

You have a 1gb. 90 and 91's are 1ga's.

flip up head lights vs composite head lights.

1gA = Flip up headlights. 89-91
1gB = Composite headlights. 92-94

flip up head lights vs composite head lights.

+1 That's the most easily recognized difference between a 1Ga and 1Gb.

and the rear tail lights, spoilers, and side skirts are different.

1ga - lights are straight across on the bottom, reverse lights next to license plate in bumper. the spoiler is a 5-piece aggressive look that wraps around to the side mirrors.

1gb - -----\___/----- is what the bottom of the lights look like. the turn signals are amber instead of just dual filament red shared with the brakes. reverse lights and license plate are in the center section. the spoiler is a tiny 3-piece.

the ultimate for me would be a 1ga front, 1ga spoiler, 1gb rear, 1ga skirts. unfortunately the different revisions of bumpers and side skirts do not flow at all, so it is something i will never do.

Shouldn't do drugs and post...

1gb's are awsome to me...

Another difference is from 90-92.5 the dsm's came with a 6 bolt block versus the 7 bolt block found in 92.5-99 dsms and can handle more abuse!
