I could not find a quick answer, so I ask, is the white on the 90-91 integra same as the 92-93 white? I know the 90 is called " polar white " and the 92 is " arctic white ", but are they ACTUALLY different? Or just different names? They look the same in pictures. I ask because I have a 90 GS and might buy some white body parts (hood, bumper, hatch) off a 92 white integra LS and hope to just install them with no painting required…
It’s going to be a different shade of white
When I get home, I can give you my 93 paint code.
I thought that 91 was Frost White just like the 92-93 (NH-538) and that 1990 was the only year Polar white was available…which is why if you see a polar white hood with an acura emblem, you know it is not a factory original hood…
Well, anyway, you can tell the difference and they are Actually different. I have a friend with a Polar White CRX and a different friend who had a 1991 Frost White CRX. You could tell the difference with them next to each other. Frost white is a warmer color if memory serves (although it has been a few years).
But I would say that if you have body damage or rust, then a slightly different white will look better anyway and you can always paint it later. Hell, get both bumpers and then it will look like you did it on purpose.

The last one is the most helpful as it actually has the PPG paint chips.
