The wheels and deck lid spoiler are the main aero differences I can see.

Both features are superior vs. the "regular" car.

Honda Canada in fact added that spoiler to all "regular" 5-speed Civics for '08 as one of several measures to marginally improve the car's fuel economy to earn a government efficiency rebate.
