I'm wondering if the quarter panels from an LS/RS are different from a GSR /ITR or are the Type-R quarter panels slightly different from the LS/RS/GSR?


LS:


RS:


GSR:


ITR:


Mainly from body line down around the area where the Type-R sticker is....it may be me but today i was looking at my boys R's at the paint shop vs my LS and it looked different......it might be a slight difference but it may not.

 

AFAIK, only differences are between sedan and coupe models, not trims.

 

There are different ways you can see if there's a good chance any part might be the same between years or trims.

(1) Check dealership websites

Try looking on sites such as HondaPartsDeals.com (not sure off hand of the Acura site). Compare the part numbers. Remember just because Car A has a part with a different part number than Car B's part does not mean the part isn't the same or won't fit! Sometimes the part numbers for the original manufacturer change year to year or factory to factory. It could be a material difference or something else that won't impact the performance or fitment of the part. For example: '88-'91 Preludes have two different clock designs but both designs will fit any car, but you can't necessarily build one clock out of the different design type parts because the cases snap together differently.

(2) Check aftermarket suppliers.

You might find that an aftermarket part fits two different trim levels or even two different models. For example, del Sols and '92-'95 Civic hatches can use the same aftermarket mufflers iirc. This doesn't always mean the stock parts will fit, but it can give you an idea.

(3) Check collision part companies.

For body parts you might be able to find that a company makes one fender for multiple trims, years or body styles.




All of these aren't 100% foolproof unless the OE part numbers are the same, but it sure can help give you an educated idea.

 

no moldings on the ITRs.
i believe the second pic is an ITR, not GSR

 

I'm talking about the quarter panel itself i know about the moldings.


I wanted to see if they were different, im re-paining my LS NHBP right now but it isn't a big deal... but it made me curious

 

Same part numbers

 

Ditto the above^^^

GS-R... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...s=&view=normal
LS... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal
RS... http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal 94

 

they are identical

 

That is the difference. The ITR quarters don't have holes in it for the moldings, like the GSR, LS, RS do. The ITR's fenders, doors and quarters are different than any other Integra, due to the others have side moldings.

 

Looks the same to me

 

the pic of the GSR above, is not a GSR. Notice the 5 lug? Thats a Type R.

 

Could be a five lug swap, who really knows! Might could even be a LS too.

 

Maybe this is proof they really are the same, since we're not 100% sure if it's a GSR, ITR or LS.

 

True. But then they would have had to do all of the body mods too. Fill in the side moldings and what ever else they do to get that line down the side of the body to mock the R. The point I'm trying to make for the OP is, from the factory, all Integra's 94-01 excluding the Type R, had side moldings along the sides of the body.

 

If you right click the image and view its properties it'll tell you that GSR is in the image name.
