It would be the equivalent of the integra type-R compared to the base model integra,(or a GT-R compared to a base model skyline...though not THAT drastic of a change) you know, a bit more power, better aesthetics, some suspension adjustments, better everything basically. The Type S and Type X share the same exterior styling, only one is turbo and one isn't.

And there are the Types:IIIIIISRX

I would believe the I-III are the earlier models versions, and the S-X are the later model versions...

Mrzabala, what rims are those in your display pic? The look like some I saw on an ad in Modified selling 'old school' Scion rims. Those are sexy.

Hmmm... I thought most people like Type-X OEM bodykit. Problem is wheels and tires setup. When it's done right, can't beat the OEM style IMHO.

oem is original equipment....

So whatever came or could come on a car straight from factory. JDM is more like talking about what came one the Japanese Versions cause we got screwed with about 90% of our cars.

JDM cars are way hotter in SO MANY ways it pisses me off.

That red 180 is the ish!!!

eBay is the best place to get, but you could try pandagarage or jarco.

You are the very first guy who doesn't like s13 kouki bumper. I think front bumper is just gorgeous.

I also think the kouki kit is the ish. The modern angular styling definitely changed the look of the car. The car looks great in any trim IMO. Personally, I can't stand pignose bumpers. For some reason, Nissan sport cars all stand the test of time (240Z, 180/240SX, 300ZX,...ect) with their looks.
