No - because the chassis is still different.

is dat the bar behind the rear bumper? is this it?

Negative. You are showing behind the bumper. Tanghy and myself are trying to say that there is a factory lower tie bar that is welded between the two mounting points of the rear suspension(can remember the name of it now LOL :oops: ). As opposed to aftermarket ones that need the bolts removed from both sides, line up the tie bar then torque the bolts back on. Anyway, the DC2R has it in pretty much the same way as the EK9. Need pics damn it!

why don't anybody say that the rear mirror, is black in colour and is not tinted and the rear sear window too?..

i don't think people would spent bout 1.5k to change that rite?...

that is the easies dude...and if you still think that he tint the car...go and look close up...then...you will know is a real thing or not..

5 stud though can be converted...but there is something underneath...the suspension is diff....
wanna check?...underneath can tell you everything...or just ask that guy who owns it whether is a real CTR or not...simple rite...

also the white isnt exactly white, its got a pearl tint to it..
thats for the white civic type R's

No I wouldn't as it would still have EK4 on the firewall.

It's the same as countless Yank ****wits that claim they have JDM EF9 (yo) because they have bolted the interior, engine and nose onto their ED6.

In the long run, it's still just an ED6 or EK4

i mean the rear wind screen is original black in colour...and the rear window as well....

Haha yes, the rear hatch window is black and the rear passenger windows are black as well.

The Type R lower tie bar can be swapped over if the entire lower suspension is swapper over i.e. it's not part of the chassis.
