the difference between 97 r and 98 r?
i know the front lip spoiler is different.
rear bumper is different
98 has a button to pop open hacth
but what else?

To be a little more specific about this button thing...the 97 has a cable latch(simular to a gas tank release) where as the 98+ has an electronic latch.
The 97s do not have a rear windshield wiper(98+ does).
A/C was optional in 97...I think it was standard in 98(maybe that was not standard until 2000?)
The steering wheel says "ACURA" instead of the "A" Acura symbol
My99itr0005 can probably give a lot more details, but the wiring is different throughout the car
I am sure there are several other things, but that is all I can drag out for now. Also, the 97 and 98s do not have the faux carbin fiber around the A/C vent, display, and radio like the 2000 and 2001s do. 97/98s came with black leather NSX shift knobs(with red stiching) while the 00/01s came with the titanium shift knobs.

Actually that isn't what changed. If you look close the slanted edge moves from the outside of the lense(by the screw) to the inside of the lense(by the open section of the bumber. Just a little more styling with the new bumper10 # front bumper marker lights were changed from a CLear amber to Amber lights

I think you are refering to the underbody kit with the front lip, side rocker panels, and rear pieces, all body colored. The cover shot of the latest Sport Compact has a Type R with the factory side and rear pieces installed.
It was only available from 98 on. The kit was not designed for the 97's with the different nose and rear bumper cover.
On the upside, and I did this on my 97 GSR, the 98 rear bumper cover (+ foam inserts) will bolt up without any problem on the 94-97's. The side skirts were common to all Integra's, so if you update the rear cover you can install the sides and rear.
The ITR has the front lip already, or you can by one from Comptech for a non-ITR.
