Default JDM/USDM Body Kit Question

Hey, I'm just wondering if the Acura RSX full OEM body kit is the same body kit found on the JDM Honda Integra Type R (except for the spoiler). I'm seeing that people are putting up posts saying "I need to get a Type R lip for my RSX" or "Type R front spoiler". I'm looking at pics of RSXs and Integras and they both look like its the same kit so isn't the OEM bodykit from acura the same thing as the ITR in japan? If so, whats the difference? thanks!

thanks! now I notice between the front lip and the rear skirt but the Type S and the Type R looks like they have the same side shirt, unless i'm wrong. So what do you guys perfer? the acura kit or the Type R? personally I like the ITR's front lip and the Acura's rear skirt.

Type S Side Skirt



Type R Side Skirt

Agreed, but I would prefer the type R - its just a little cleaner!

Damm they both look really nice though... But it does remind me of a buddy club rear, but more 'cleaner' and easier against the body lines.

Look-wise, the DC5 (RSX) just need a nice set of wheels, a drop, and whichever of the two OEM or JDM kits to look nice from a cosmetic standpoint. Oh yeah, don't forget the JDM-y0! smoked headlights. The rest of the money I would invest into the motor, as I've heard some positive reviews about it.
