96 Anniversary Ed. differences...

[Gards]

I have searched the forums and the net but not got a real answer.

Just wondering the differences with the 1996 Anniversary edition accords. I know it was just cosmetic stuff like wood grain centre console, spoiler, gold badging ect What else though?

Were these just optional extras thrown in for free by Honda or was their anything exclusive about the Anniversary editions? I know on the open market they arnt really worth anymore money, even if people try and plug the fact they are special. Just interested that's all.

Cheers

they where just ordinary cars as we would install the anniversary pack on them,
in dash cd
floor mats
spoiler
bonnet protector
wood grain consol
badging

[Gards]

I know they were the same cars mechanically. Was just curious what freebies were thrown in beyond what I could tell. For instance I didn't know about a bonnet protector, I don't think my accord has one?

Dray the 96 Accord says 20th Anniversary Special Edition. It might refer to the 20th year of Accords wheres the 50th anniversary is Honda?

I think your on the money ;)

Ive seen a 96 accord with wood grain centre console. (not aftermarket)
