Default DC2R factory body kit?

In conversing w/ someone yesterday it was said that U could have got it from the dealer a while back but now it's discontinued.
I'm not sure about the chin spoiler (front) but he said there was a pair of side skirts & a rear (under bumper) lip.
If this is true maybe I'm from the stone ages but this is a first to me.
If it exist does anyone have a pic? Thanks.

I'm not sure how people got to saying it's a Type-R kit, but....
Yes, the optional kits were available from the dealer a few years ago. Now they're very hard to find, and expensive.

Here's a pic of the kit on my car:

It is the 98-01 OEM Optional Kit for 2dr integras.

The front lip is identical to the OEM ITR front lip. There are sideskirts and two rear valences.

Here's how it looks:















A few on an R

WOW!!! I really appreciate all the pics guys! I've seen those before but had no idea it was a factory option. If I'd known that I'd gotten that when I bought mine new.
I can't say I'd be willing too shell out 1K bucks for it used though.

Here's a picture of it on my car if you dont want to spend the money on a used factory one, then you can always buy the fiberglass ones on ebay for about $300. My friend has the fake one on his gsr and it fits just about the same. IMO i think it is the best kit out there besides the mugen or the C-West

I don't think the rear valances would fit on the '97 bumpers. I'm sure if they fit, someone would have it... but I've yet to see one.

My train of thought is: If this kit wasn't a dearler option until 98' then Im going to stop worrying about getting one since it was never available for the 94' to 97' body.

It's only for 98-01 dc2's. The 97 front and rear bumpers aren't compatible.

But you can get the azect sides and rears - which are only compatible with the 97 and earlier rear bumper.....

If you cant get the legit one or dont want to shell out the cash just buy the ebay one. It fits good all u need to do is trim a little on the side skirtso it fits perfectly

So it's an HFP type deal? Kind of what they offer with the EP3s and the newer cars?

I'm aware of the compatibility isses . I wasn't sure if maybe they offered a kit that fit for the earlier DC2.

What is this 'Azect sides and rears' you speak of?

"A Spec" did not exist in 1998.

OK, well, a line of parts that complemented each other like the HFP and A Spec line do now did not exist in 1998.
