Ok be patient with me

what are the exterior differences between teggys? (GS,RS,LS,GSR) I already know how to tell the differences between a TypeR and a non TypeR, but i cant seem to figure out the ones mentioned above without having to look at the tach or under the hood.

thanx

Aight well tha GS n RS r tha same thing. only difference wit tha RS n LS is tha LS comes wit a sunroof n tha GS-R comes wit tha sunroof as well as rims, LS n RS come wit hubcaps.

 

Ok, i'm sure someone is gonna follow my reply with a "do a search!" reply but i'll answer to some extent for ya.

you missed a trim by the way, Special Edition(SE)

RS/LS/SE/GS all share the same non-vtec b18b1 motor
GSR has a vtec b18c1 motor

From the factory(not dealership) these models come this way:
-RS is the base model which has no sunroof, no power doorlocks, no ABS, no wing, no rims. And had a 3rd brakelight in the glass of the hatch

-LS (and i believe SE) had sunroof, power doorlocks & ABS. some with rims, some without, No wing. And had a 3rd brakelight in the glass of the hatch (Special edition had small grey sticker saying "Special Edition" under passenger taillamp)

-GS had sunroof, power doorlocks, ABS, GSR rims, GSR wing w/LED, and NO 3rd brakelight in hatch glass

-GSR had sunroof, powerdoorlocks, ABS, GSR Rims, GSR wing w/LED, and NO 3rd brakelight in hatch glass. Had a grey sticker that said "dohc vtec" under the passenger rear taillamp.
After certain year, came standard with leather interior.

I think this is all correct to the best of my recollection.

 

Most of that is correct, in a general sense....you have to remember that all of the models have options and depending on what people want depends on what the car comes with.

 

One more addition: GS-R's have always come with the side moldings and mirrors painted, while GS/RS/LS did not untill a certain year (98 I believe, not positive though). So if you see an Integra with black moldings and black mirrors... it's not a GS-R

 

the gs came standard w/ leather

 

some revisions to the above:
- RS always had unpainted mirrors and side mouldings..
- LS had only unpainted side mouldings until 96..
- SE (USDM) was the same exact thing as the GS, until they started calling it the GS again (not sure on the year)..
- mirrors were changed on all tegs in 96 (instead of being smooth on the back, they added an edge)..

 

some 4dr gsr's DID NOT come with a wing....mine didn't, and i've seen 3 or 4 more that didn't,got that sleeper look..
