sorry noob question. How do you tell what model FD a

8th Gen sports vti with a k20z is ?

There should be a plate on the radiator support area. Should say FD2 or FD1. But if yours has a k20z then it is a FD2

from exterior as standard for sports variant it has side indicator on the sidemirror, sunroof(but i saw a vtil 1.8 with sunroof maybe added option),full leather interior, front headrest has hole,17" rims 07' above..

Dont forget the obvious, the badge hahah. But usually the sport has like more aggressive rims. From 09 and below, the sport comes with EP3r Rims. So i guess have a look =)

Pre-Facelift - Larger fog lights, triangle or "pointy" grill shape, and circular rear brake lights

Facelift - Smaller circular fog lights, squared grill shape, and hexagon shaped rear brake lights

:-P

Easiest way I see it

FD1 = Side Indicator on fender
FD2 = Side Indicator on Side Mirror

Well in Aus anyway, FD2R has fender indicator too.

Only the Sports Has the K20 DOHC
VTI and VTI-L are 1.8 SOHC

To spot the differences the 2009+ Has a facelift, Squared Tail Lights, Indicators on the Side Rear View, Different Rims and obviously the Sports badge.
The Older Model has a different bodykit & Circle Tail Lights.
