How do I tell the difference between a real Type-R and a fake?

[urbantechie]

I come to think that 99% of them I see are stickers only

One way is by color. Real Type-Rs are in a off-white color w/ painted rims. Another way to tell is by how many lugnuts are on the wheels. Standrard Integras have 4 lugs while Type-Rs have five.

I think the VIN number would be a good indicator.

Type-R's do come in different colors now. (Several magazines have reviewed them in the yellow color)

A real Type-R will have lots of bright yellow stickers- just ask Lozer.

Ugh those yellow things are stickers? I thought they were urine stains! :Q

The older Type-R's only came in white. The new 2001 Type-R's only come in black and yellow.

Either an off white color; yellow or black for the 2000-2001s. Also, I think they 5 lugs instead of 4. Look at the interior, there would be indicators, and of course, pop the hood and look for the correct engine.

 

[trmiv]

Yea, the 2001's only come with black interior.

I'm just guessing, but my neighbor thinks he's got a Type R...well at least the sticker says so...but does the fact that it has cheap plastic hub caps mean it isn't a real Type R? Just wondering I was sure they'd have better rims...aluminum alloy or something...

I remember the old Type-R's didnt have a rear windshield wiper. I think the new ones do have one though.
