your right, i don't think real type R's have manual windows... cause my friends got a integra type R and it's got power windows. i know it's not proof but it is a good comparison.

Rep Power: 0 It's also Photohopped... Check the Guage cluter on the "right hand drive steering pic" has the speedo on the left..tch would be on the right... real Type-R's and other JDM cars have tach's on the left and speedo's on the right..just like USM cars do...

Rep Power: 0 sorry guys but i hate that car i think its ugly and i dont like the "right hand drive" either. plus i wouldnt put alot of money into that car to make it a "true type r" civic. if its a fake then this person wasted a lot of money. seriously guys with all the money put into that car i could of bought something better like a acura or something.

im not asking this to question anyone or flame anyone, but my question is, were US Civics available in yellow? and if not, wouldnt then engine need to come out and what-not to paint that as well?

The type-R has a 1.6L 185 bhp engine. I think it did come in yellow not too sure on that one. It looks like the real thing to me although the type-r conversion from a cx or dx has been done before but I don't know why its right hand drive if it was converted. but anyways I would take it.
