ok, i feel lost. i havent been reading this forum for a bit. Anywya, whats all this talk about the ITR never came in black...? i searched but didnt find anything.

 

they are fake!

i'm not sure where it started. i first heard about this from b2finity. then socal itr got into it.

whatever, the only color that matters on an itr is CW

 

ok im confused now too

 

yup there are no Black ITRs. The only real ones are CW.

 

As I said, I saw the Loch Ness Monster driving a Black ITR.

In other words, they're nothing but a myth!

Black R's don't exist!

 

I'd like to contest that. I'm pretty sure I was the first to recognize that all Black Type R's were fake!

I thought it was common knowledge? Like the sky is blue, the grass is green, etc.

 

I give the credit to Chris, he was the first one to find out the dealer gipped him

 

fake, it was a scam to make black RS's look like ITR's

 

Flamenco Black Pearl: Color Code - NH-592P
Offered in 2000

Nighthawk Black: Color Code - B-92P

Its not gonna work you guys! All the ricers will still try to steal your "Fake Black R's"! haha

 

I'll take the time to explain this further...

You see back in 1997 and 1998 (the first two years of production for the USDM Integra Type R, all of the cars were Championship White; this is a fairly well known fact. In 1999 there were no ITR's imported into the United States. Then along came the year 2000 and 2001 models, both offered in Phoenix Yellow ONLY. In the summer of 1999, it was fashionable in Japan to have a black Integra Type R. The phase took awile to sweep across to the Western world where the United States happens to be. Roughly a year later, end of the 2000 production year, and beginning of the 2001 production year, everyone wanted a black Integra Type R here in the United States, this was the beginning of what we now know as "JDM Bling."

So we had all of these White and Yellow ITR's running around, but no black ones. Unfortunitely those who bought the white and yellow Type R's loved their cars so much that they refused to paint them. People started buying the lower model Integras in black or finding used ones and then painting them black. There was some discrepency as to which color black was on the JDM cars, so there may be two or possibly even three different colors for the "black Type R's." Many people even went as far as to get the wheel conversion and even have the sunroofs REMOVED! Most did not bother with the engine swap however, and just bought a red valve cover or painted their original one.

Again, this also explains the incredible rise in Type R theft and Integra theft in general. This is still happening today at an incredible rate.... some people want the Japanese fronts, while others want the black Type R's. It's all part of this JDM fad that has been going around; it's like a disease.

Those of you who think you saw a black ITR ever in your life were wrong unless it was a picture or it was right hand drive. So now you can go tell all of your friends that any black Type R that you see is fake, it's a fact of life. Even if it looks real, down to the smallest detail, it is not. These guys are good, but remember that anyone stupid enough to do all of that to a Honda is probably mentally deficient and will go to any lengths, regardless of consequences to harm you if you even look at the car for very long or in the wrong way. Watch out, cause these fools are unstoppable lunatics, I **** you not.

This is the real, complete story behind the myth of the Black USDM Integra Type R.

Chris

 

Black Rs? where where? Thieves know there is no such thing as a "Black" R, so they usually leave my fakie R alone

 

Hahahahahha... I'm ******* rolling. This thread is now bookmarked for every "Do Black R's exist" thread

 

nice description socal
u can only find rhd jdm itr's

 

nice chris
that's you alright. haha

 

I went to my local Acura dealer and demanded a black Type R. The sales guy said they only have black gsr, ls, and gs models and the Type R's comes in yellow and white only. To make a long story short, I walked out that day with an LS with Type R stickers on it because they felt bad for me that there were no black Type R's available.

To this day, I'm driving around a black LS with Type R stickers.
Next time you see a black Integra with Type R stickers, its fake.

Thats my story

 

did you pay an extra $4000 for dealer markup?

 

but its not all that bad, these fake type r compensated by brighter type r stickers and extra (hidden) type r stickers inside suspension for better handling!

 

man nobody will ever believe my 99 FBP ITR is legit now. "shrugs" oh well, I know it's real.

 

LMAO !!

You are not the centre of the world, US-guys.... how ignorant!

I bought my starlight black ITR directly from Honda. They came 1998 in three colors:
starlight black, championship white and milano red..
But you know what ? I never saw a yellow... I guess they don`t exist and are just a myth..

Ah, I forgot: What you can`t see, doesn`t exist...

 

Damn straight... I bought this RS and i'm working on making it into an R

Sounds about right...

 

Yep, I went broke turning my '00 RS into an R. Five-lug, UKDM CTR wheels, wing, badges, stickers, interior, front lip. I made up the badge number 00-0009, since you never hear of low-numbered R's. It was madness, I tell you. I finally ran out of money and had to sell the car.

But it's ok. I bought a turbo pig to replace it, and I'm resisting the temptation to turn it into an 'R'

Yo, Penny - how much did it cost to have the side moldings removed? I've gotta get that done on my RS. Thanks, bro.
