Default 92 vs 97~00 rear section difference

could any one describe in word the major difference between the rear bumper section for 92 & 97~00? from the info provided by Intellexual, updating to the latest look requires components of rear bumper cover and qtr panels, however, from any gallery, no siginificant difference spotted...perhaps I am too careless, could anybody shed a light on this? Much appreciated!!

The 97-up rear bumper is a little lower than the 92-96 bumpers since the 1997-up have sideskirts. Taillights were changed in 1995 (same as 1996) and once again in 1997 (all the way to 2000) <---I'm quite sure you know this already. But aside from that, there is minimal difference with the 92-96 bumper and the 1997-up. People are often thrown off by the raised spoiler and rear tailights of the 1997-up.

if you look from the side of the rear, the bumper actually sticks out more. With 92-96 bumpers, it's a shorter bumper..if you understand that...kind of hard to explain...

But yeah, it sticks out a bit more and it's lower due to having the side quarter panels.

Yes...what ACleanSC4 said. They actually do stick out more. And they also seem wider at the bottom.

I'm pretty sure Tony's exhaust was a GReddy MX correct?

The 97 parts look much more agressive than the 91~93.
