Question I am confused about a Integra I saw today

Today, i was working and next door some guy showed up to do property assesment on the houses in the development i was working in. Couldn't tell the age of the person, cuz this morning it was 7 degrees and they were bundled up worse than the Michelin man. Anyway, they had a RSX.......i was like cool, is it a Type S. I drive buy and see red "H" badges on the trunk and in the grill and i was like.......WTF So i back up and to look again and on the trunk, it had a Integra badge. I was like WTF again. I thought, this car can't be jdm, so i look inside as i drive by again and it was left-hand drive.

Does anyone know if a left hand drive Integra 02-04 was made for the US market ?????

Sound to me like he put that down at Options Auto Salon and bought the Type R badges and Integra emblems. The is only the RSX starting in 02 in the U.S.

right. his car is not an actual honda integra. but at the same hand, technically the badging is appropriate.

the acura RSX here, is the honda integra in japan.

Greg, the guy who owns HondaWerx, has the same thing. His RSX-S is rebadged with red Honda emblems and the "INTEGRA" letters. It's just like putting the RS grille on a 7th gen sedan here. They're basically the same, but different.

It could actually be a JDM teg. I don't know personally why some people would do that, but I guess if he had enough cash then why not.

I remember seeing a left hand drive american truck in Japan. Driving on the wrong side is difficult... it looks funny too.

A lot of rsx owners do this.
Honda=Acura
Integra=RSX

Yup, just sounds like a rebadged RSX. I usually check to see if the owner changed the wheel caps as well (unless the person had aftermarket rims).
