Question!

how much body change is there from each year in the 4th gen.? if any?

As far as actual panals, none I think. The headlight vents are different from 92-93 and 94-96. S trim level don't have the front plastic lip.

What Brendon mentioned is correct. Nothing major changed concerning body panels in the 4th gen. If the look of it changed it would have been considered a new generation. Minor enhancements are usually made however.

94-96 Preludes have two lines going through the headlight vents and are black while the 92-93 vents have a single line and are a dark gray.

92-93 turn signals are solid orange while the 94-96 signals are orange/clear

92-93 Si/VTEC wheels are 7 spoke rims weighing 22 lbs a piece. 94-96 Si/VTEC/SE rims are the directional rims weighing in at 18 lbs a piece.

All S model Preludes did not come through with the front bumper lip like the Si/VTEC models.

Spoilers were standard on VTEC models but were optional on Si/S models.

92-93 models had the third brake light located on the top of the rear windshield ONLY. 94-96 models equiped with a spoiler had the brake light located on the spoiler itself. If the car did not come through from the factory with a spoiler then it was placed at the top of the rear windshield as per the 92-93 models.

And that's about it for the exterior of the car. There were some significant changes to the car on the inside but though.

Sorry Brendon, I just went into a little more detail for her.
