Also, it can be hard to take pictures when you’re not looking at what you’re taking pictures of because you’re trying to concentrate on the traffic in front of you.

This is worth a terrible pictures, because it looks like it was well used and it was driven by an older looking Asian man. Behold: a genuine, championship white, bugeye Integra Type R. It had five lug wheels, and did not have the JDM front end conversion.

Curious...the Internets are full of people calling out fake ITRs and CTRs. What are telltale exterior signs that it’s an actual Type R, like factory parts that are difficult to replicate in the aftermarket?

5-lug wheels?

Yeah 4 bolt hubs would be a dead give away, but a 5 bolt swap isn’t hat hard either.

The 1996 models had 4 bolt hubs.

I would look for a moonroof. All but the base models and the type r had a moonroof.

The “grill” is a big one. Not sure how to explain it. Just Google some pics and you’’ll see.

Also the wing. The type-R one is higher than the GS-R

No roof.

Interesting fact: the term “moonroof” was coined to differentiate the new glass sunroofs that Lincoln was installing in the new Mk IV models for 1973. They were made by ASC (who also convertibled the 3rd-gen F-body, and spun off their manufacturing arm to Signature, a division of my employer’s parent company.)
