I have been around Honda's a long time now and I have never heard of a Civic RS. I see on eBay all these emblems for it, and one of my neighbors has it on his car. I am assuming it is some JDM thing. Let me know, i have done google and yahoo searches. Please help!
i dont know what RS means
but in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution RS model RS is defined as the lighter version of the standard Evolution, by about 145 pounds. the spoiler, air conditioning, vanity mirrors, ABS brakes, HID projectors, all the non essentials were thrown out the door. the car was also reinforced a tad bit more to offer stability in turns.
Would that suggest that a "Civic RS" would be stripped of 70% of its essentials in efford to lighten the load? or what?

RS Means Road Sailing.
Its means something like it drives smoothly like a boat sails. Get it road sailing.
RS = Road Sailing
SB1 : Civic 1200 HB - 1972-1978 (RS model)
EK3 : Civic Ferio 4dr 1999-2000 (Vi-RS model)
ES2 : Civic Ferio 4dr 2001-on (RS model)
all these models sported the RS Badge
The RS badge was first seen on the 1st Gen Civic that first used the Dual Carb engine. That was a breakthru technology then. It mean "Road Sailing" for its smooth road going nature.
Now on the Vi-RS the RS has emerged because if you drove that car you would know why. The Multimatic box(HMM) gives the feeling of smooth stepless transmission (no gear changes) and hence the name RS. But there were manual versions of the Vi-RS too. Smoothness came from the 3Stage Vtec.

Something between a Type R and a Type S...
I don't know, but I believe in Japan, they're on Ferio's which is the sedan version. It's a trim level. I don't think they offer it on the current version.

RS = Real Slow? they just want you to think it is jdm.. but in actuality they are letting you tell the world your car is a RS Civic.. or a Real Slow Civic..
y put rs on ur car if it aint rs? like all those fake vtec stickers
i like the grille on my car, even though i order an altezza grille but got an RS but hey it looks nice on the car, and no it does not make my car look ricey
I would actually agree with the point that putting an RS emblem is the same as sticking a Type-R emblem on.
I have RS grill and "RS" means Really Slow to me, which is true, so I like it there.
My friends always ask me what's RS, and I always tell them it means "Rally Slow"....haha!

when i first got the rs grill for my car, i left the emblem on. it was only a matter of days before i realized how ricey it was and replaced it with an ex emblem.
so this means that the RS badge isnt for coupes?? then how come i see it on alot of coupe ??

So i can get an RS grill and just have the H without the RS? Thats what I would want. Do the ebay versions allow for removing the "RS"?
I found this one on ebay...

never was and never will be unless japan decides to ever make a civic coupe and release it in their market. i guess people just like to put rs grills on their cars 
RS=road sailing. well put civicvtec1ps
obviously it means Really Sweet
yeah, I dont see the point of putting an rs grill on your car if it isnt an rs model....its like calling your civic a type r or something
I agree with stachmo why put it on your car if thats not what it is. Just take the pics to a shop that does metal work and fab the grill for you without the rs if you really like the grill.
Actually, I believe "RS" originally came from the German "rennsport" which means "racing".
No offence, but road sailing doesn't make much sense for a car which has sporting intentions. Otherwise they'd be badging Buicks and Oldsmobiles "RS" left and right.
