    What are the differences between '86-'87 and the '88-'89 makeover?

    I see front plastic grill and amber turn-signals.
    Rear taillights
    AC panel
    steering wheel

    interior:
    steering wheel
    cruise control button location
    door panel inserts
    door handles
    power window buttons
    (89 specific) rear shoulder belts instead of lap belts

    exterior:
    GT model gets 7 spoke 14" alloys instead of the 10 spoke
    GT-S goes from 10 spoke to honeycomb wheels
    grille/corner lights
    tailights + taillight vents
    (89 specific) rear wiper starts from up position

    engine:
    GT-S has EGR port coming off the head instead of from exhaust manifold
    (89 specific) ECU altered to fix cold start issues
    o2 sensor is behind engine instead of in front near where manifold meets the downpipe. (not sure if this is 88-89 or simply just 89)
    intake rubber hose has an extra pipe attached to it.
