coupes have drums in the back.. im pretty sure.. ill walk outside and look later, but ITRs do not come with sunroof and theres no way in hell anyone would install a aftermarket sunroof on a type-r cause it would just ruin the structure support of it, so yes that is a fake type r

without seeing the car in person, you have to accept the possiblity that it COULD be a real type r with an after market sunroof.

FAKE, why would someone want to put a sunroof on a type R??
probably gsr, typeR wana be. but hey we could be wrong maybe someone did put aftermarket sunroof on.
as ND mentioned above check the vin but heck they can be swaped too

I have heard of ITRs getting aftermarket sunroofs put in at the dealer when they were bought new...there is an arial shot on teh net somewhere of an ITR meet with a few hundred ITRs and a few of them have sunroofs, and the explanation given was some dealers offered it.
I doubt a sunroof would seriously affect the ITRs structural integrity, just a weight concern thats all...

im just sayin if u install a sunroof and remove some of the metal off the roof it would ruin the structure support that it gives when its originally there, why would anyone buy a ITR and do that to it? i dunno? it could be possible but that just completely ruins the car, i could be wrong but im pretty confident sayin 100% its not a real R, has the car done any disc modifications? from what i think i know with the little knowledge that i have only ITR came with 5 lugs from factory
EDIT: just because a dealer offers an option doesnt mean its from honda/acura

no, you didnt say there was a law against it, but you claimed that it can't be a type R, becasue no one would ever put a sunroof on a type R.
That is just a plain ignorant statement... People WILL put a sunroof on a type R, along with anything else, simply because thats what people do with cars.

thats almost practically a FAKE R.
If you want to know if its real or not. check vin first
all ITR's have this code. DC231 -> yes 231
GSR is 8 or 9 one is with leather the other isn't
so a GSR would be DC238 OR DC239
and here's why it wouldn't be a type r for these reasons.
structure support of the entire car is imposible to replicate.
yes you can throw itr bars and suspension to look and act like an itr, but you know what..lol you're wrong!!
the entire chassis is re-enforced. if you want information than i'll post it as well. there's a link.
there's structural re-enforcement through out the entire car, one espically is the roof rails. now if you put an aftermarket sunroof than you have now just cut into the support decreasing the structure.
is it illegal to do?? no its not. it has not thing to do with legal.
anyways.
anybody can shave moldings, add 5 bolt, itr bars, front lip, paint it NH-0 (Team Rukus :P), remove interior sound deadening, itr interior, but like i said those key features of structure support is not replicatable, and if you want the rear trunk bar, than hey guess what, you're going ot hvae to drill a hole, and there's probably no re-enforcement on the rear trunk to even support the bar.
oh and of course, you need to support that subframe if you want to rock the 22mm sway bar. otherwise you'll rip that subframe apart. so you would have to buy a beaks kit or ASR, or even SSR.
but whatever, i could go on and on and on.
and your si coupe, i believe no coupes comes with all wheel disc unfortunitely.
my friend has a 95 si, he had to convert.

so in conclusion, im not stating that some idiot will install a sunroof on their ITR but a true ITR enthusiast will never do something like that, and if there was a REAL ITR with a sunroof at an ITR meet, that dude would probably get flamed.
goodbye! off to more enjoyable threads

how ignorant are you? do you think only "IRT enthusiasts" buy ITR's? That NO ONE will put a sunroof in it for "fear of being flamed at an ITR meet?"
For every "ITR enthusiast" there are 2 people who own an ITR who bought it becasue its cool.
Do you think people only buy Ferraris for their performance? The majority of "performance car owners" are just rich people who want what they think is cool.
Enjoy your other threads.
