My wife has a 98 and i have a 99, both are coupes and EX trim. This is what
I have found different so far:
Hood is different
grill is wider on 99
Front "H" is bigger on 99
headlights are shaped slightly different (not interchangable)
Heat sheild on header is different
O2 sensor locations are different
Front bumper is different
Rear bumper is different contour (found this out when i put on honda
mudskirts)
Keyless entry remote is different (option button on 98 to turn off beep, not
on 99)
98 beeps with first lock, 99 beeps with second lock
Exterior lights blink when locking and unlocking on 99, not on 98
Keyless entry is combined with stock radio on 98 and separate with 99
all heater/AC controls and radio opening are different
99 has a height adjustable driver's seat, 98 does not
transmission disengaging opening by shifter is different
Cup holders and bottom opening are different
and that is about all i can think of right now

as for the difference between the 99 and 2000 I have only noticed a few
things (my mother in law has a 2000)
The 2000 comes with a cup holder insert for the right side cup holder (i
would recommend getting one, it holds the cups more firmly, only $6 from
dealer)
2000 comes with child safety harness mounts, 99 &98 have pop-outs, but the
hardware is separate

I hope this helps
Greg
