95-96 turbo cars all have a factory silver stripe around the bottom. 97-99's do not.

The exhaust is the tell-tale sign of what the car is. On all turbo DSMs... One pipe for NA, Two for Turbocharged. Now you can pick and choose your battles.

The only exception to the rule is the non-turbo Spyder models. The convertibles have 2 pipes regardless because their NA version is a 2.4L SOHC, and they need a little more pipe than the NA because of their added displacement... but the turbo '96 spyders still have that silver stripe.

...oh yeah... and 95-96 turbo cars all had the heaviest-gayest 16" wheels ever on any sports car. "turbo swirlies" as most call them when not using expletives.
