ok, this may sound like a newb question... what's the difference between a civic rs and any other civic. i can't find anywhere describing the difference. the reason i ask is because i really like the looks of some of the aftermarket rs body pieces (grille, etc...) but i dont wanna b a poser by getting them. someone help....

holy crap man....

the rs is a version of the civic in japan

 

 

alright, thank you.

 

It has a lip kit from factory, also that RS front grille that eBay sells replicas of, the side mirrors that most of us want (you can pull them in when leaving the car parked), i read about a "sportier suspension" too, but it's kinda hard to get info and pictures about them since they're rare. Another fact is that it was available to its market in 2000, unlike the rest of the world, where the 7th gens were available starting in 2001.

Hope that helps a bit.

 

Forgot to mention that the code for the RS model is ES3.

 

and its a 4 door

 

Found this about it, not sure how reliable it is though, a couple of comments from RS owners.

EDIT: Meant to put this in too, this contradicts that other info.
