Type R is a trim model in itself.
Run the VIN through a vin decoder online. Just google search "VIN decoder" and type in your vin.

If it's a DX, LX, EX, or an Si, it's not a type R.

First of all, it's a coupe. That should be the first sign it's not a CTR.

Do you have an EM1? If so that isn't a bad car. Rear disc breaks, B16, and has a sunroof.

Is it right hand drive? If so, then it might be a Type-R, otherwise its not. That's a way to tell without the VIN.

If it isn't right hand drive, then your bolt pattern is most likely 4x100. I would suggest 15 or 16 inch rims.

EDIT: Never mind, just read that it's a coupe. Definitely not a Type-R... The part on the dash that says Type-R might just be a climate control, they are sometimes swapped over.

Dammit. Another person in Houston totally uneducated about their car. =( OP, did you even do what I said? You don't have a type r anyway, the closest thing would be a type r motor i'm the car but I doubt that too

yes what child said, and if its just the motor you paid a pretty penny for that car... since the motor by itself is close to 4 grand

A "Type Are", that's a new one.:lol:

Everyone has told you how to find out what trim you have.
Real Civic Type R's from the 6th generation 96-2000 were not available to us on this side of the world and only come in hatchback form.
A decal on the dash, real or fake does not make a Type R.

Definitely not a type r, as said above only in hatchback and out of the U.S.
So no matter how you see it, it will NOT be "legit"
No need to get upset for people just pointing out what it is.
Just because it is not a type "R" doesnt mean it loses value.
96-00 civic has only two models that comes with a sunroof, Ex and Si, if you are not familiar with engines and engine codes, look to see if your rear brakes are disc brakes or drums. if it is disc, you SHOULD have an Si in your possession, if not you have a common civic Ex with little to non mods with a bunch of stickers.

Try taking some pics and posting it.
