thanks alot buying a shell soon as was just wondering dont want a clone
where do i look for it? i dont see it here >.<

Rene209

and on the exterior like big one to tell from like say off the quarter panel is there any difference there?

forcefedferio

yeah a giant red R

got wide

if your just buying the shell does it really matter if its a type r or a clone? R's dont have sunroofs or side moldings and have five lug hubs if the suspension is still attached. ive seen a lot of type R five lug hub conversions and shaved moldings but dont think ive ever seen any one weld the sunroof closed so if you cant find a vin (probably stolen) and theres no sunroof its probably an R.

This has been discuss many times already. The itr body is reinforced in certain parts than a Gsr, ls or Rs. Basically the itr body is more ridgid...

Rene209

if its a shell then yeah it dose matter if you want to rebuild a type R :p

Rene209

HAHA nice pic

So FReSh

RS doesnt have a sunroof/moonroof not just the ITR.

Rene209

ty for that to i frogot to mention the LSs and RSs

got wide

oops my bad.

what about the side moldings, is the R the only one that doesnt have them? if so look inside the rear quarters to see if the mounting holes have been welded closed.

sounds and looks stolen

Rene209

yeah thats what im thinking gonna carfax the vin as soon as i get to look at it

Thanks for taking the time to post something genuinely useful. :-)

Most of the differences between a GS-R and an ITR can be emulated on the GS-R, but some of the differences are impossible:

= expensive RS shell

Rene209

its a RS shell? how so how can u tell?

everything that makes an Itr an itr is gone (hence the theft) minus the vin, there isnt much sign of an itr.Easily rebuildable but there isnt much of an difference between an itr and a RS from what you have there in the pics.... I would still build it and save a couple bucks but with your op and your pics, I was just stating the difference= not much... except sound deatning....but I wouldnt take my post as negitive,I was just trying to help you out from the differences of what you have vs an RS.Do what you want to! Wish you the best of luck and I will prob do the same thing as you in a couple of years!!!!!
