All 'limited production' cars have numbers. (i.e., cobras, etc)

That's why last year when I was looking for an R... and found one in the bay area... the dealer wanted $29K for the car... he said that it was a limited edition vehicle... that I understood.... but with the car having 9K miles on it already... too much mark up.....

Try doing multiple searches in this forum, you'll find more info than you'll know what to do with.

Welcome to H-T.

Yeah like Gramps said, there is no ONE surefire way to tell you have to combine many many attributes. More things to look for:

Absense of Moonroof
Third brakelight in hatch w/higher spoiler (NO LED)
Rear tie bar (or whatever that's called)
5 Lug
Front Chin Spoiler
Stock Exhaust Tip
Absense of side moldings
Chamionship White/Phoenix Yellow & NHB
Complete Interior w/suede seats and red stitching
Different Gauge Cluster (All interior lights are amber)
Absense of Cruise Control
11.1" Brakes in the front

It costs a lot of money to do these things, most people don't get everything 100% down. Well, except for Jay with the LSB RS, his replica is exact

Heh, those are just off the top of my head. Do a search and you'll yield more. Can anyone confirm that ITR calipers are a bronze color (zinc dipped) compared to regular GS-R calipers?

Why are Type R's numbered?

Well...
Why do birds have wings?
Why do fish live in the sea?
Why are Mugen parts so expensive?

It just is, I'll take your number plate if you don't want it.

Like George said, the only sure way to tell if it's a real Integra R is to run the vin # through Acura headquarters. Because majority of the exclusive Integra R parts can be easily swapped over to a non Type R Integra...

So when the Canadians have an ITR Meet and 50 CW ITR's show up they can remember who's is who's. Just in case they can't remember their plate #
