Default Denso or Showa?

Hey did a quick search but i cant find what the difference is between a Denso and Showa radiator. I think it has something to do with production dates and fan position but not really sure. I'm looking to get a Koyo but i need to find out which one to order. Also i looked at the radiator in my car now and the stickers all came off.. lol so thats not gonna work. Help please!

GS-R's came with showa aluminum, and I believe the Type R and LS,GS,RS came with denso's. The denso's had a black colored top and the showa's had a dark greenish gray ugly color. You can call up your local acura dealerships part dep. and they will tell you the difference I had a question when I replaced mine and the dealership was happy to answer my questions.
