Be careful of the clones out there if your only interested in an R. The car pictured has either had front end damage and the lower half of the front bumper changed w/ the incorrect cover, or this is not an R. ... just a casual observation from ALL the other "R's" I've seen.

Now that you mention it I see what you mean. The interior looks like it is an R though.

I just saw your link about the one on ebay. Thanks for posting

The interior does appear to be correct from the pics posted. However, that is easy to do with a donor car. The front air dam is definately NOT an "R" though. Could be an "R" with an incorrect replacement bumper cover. Most "R's" are roof rack delete as well but this too could have been added.

This is a real R for whatever that's worth.
If you want to know why, LOOK at the R.
THE COLOR
850R red #609 is much brighter and has more orange in it than standard #601 red and I would be 99% sure that he did not repaint this to 609 red

Thank you for the clarification. The uncertainty stemmed from the bumper being different. Otherwise the car looks legit. Might have to PM the seller since there is no reply.
