VIN should always start with jh4dc231 and Type R front ends are also bigger than the usual integras :P

Actually, RS, GS, and LS, it was an option on all of them, the only LS powered Integra that it came standard with was the SE. And, though I'm not entirely sure, but I think it only started coming standard on GS-R when they made leather standard as well back in 98'???? Any way....

I have never seen an integra (non type r) without a sun roof.

I thought it was RS that had no sunroof. They were optional on LS?

no door moldings, and the stabilizer between the taillights in the trunk.

I'm pretty sure you're right, I was just saying, that it wasn't standard on any of the models I mentioned.

RS had no roof, I had one, i know...

The GS came factory with Sunroof.

Type R, no roof....as we all know....

I got a sunroof

hehe my type R has a sun roof, hence rice boys trying to figure out what my car is, a rice integra identical to a type R built from a sunroof model, or a sunroof install on a type R:)) they figure it out once they see me at it though:)

I tried to get a sun roof in my Type R, but the dealer told me it would comprimise the roll cage. so I said Fuck it :evil:
