As far as I know, different colors. 98-00 was Diamond White Pearl. I forgot the name of the white from 01+, but its a little brighter white.

diamond white pearl has the more noticeable deep pearl color to it and crystal white is brighter and whiter. I like dwp.

DWP has a more pearl finish, Crystal White is more pure white. DWP has the notorious yellowing on the lower plastic bumpers. You can sometimes get the dealer to do a one time "courtesy" of re-painting them, it is a defect. I had to have my 98 DWP repainted.

Whoa, I wish I had your dealership where I live! Dealer doing a "courtesy" repainting!! My dealership cant even do a decent courtesy wash after service. BTW I like the older dpw gs's when they are well taken care of.

Correct. DWP was only used in 98-99. In 2000, it was changed to crystal white.
