    Hm, the most noticable is the hood tach, spoiler/stripes. Even though I'm in the process of finishing mine, I can't think of any more for the life of me.

    I'll probably update this later.

    I think the larger torsion bar for the decklid may be a need in order to hold up the trunk but you can move the existing one a notch. The outcome depends a bit on the actual weight of the rear spoiler that you use.

    Regarding the tach there was a difference depending on the year. Then there is the tach wire clip which is hard to find.

    The grille emblem may be different depending on the year.

    I am sure others will add to this list but these are the things that strike me off the top.
