the first one looks better... ways to tell what kind of model it is look for the engine stamp- next to the headers on the left the B18B is either an LS or GS, B18C is a GSR. also i notice it has a spoiler, they came standard on the GS and GSR, if it has leather seats it is also either a GS or GSR, based on the price i will make an educated guess and say that it is a GS. to make sure when you take a look at it open the drivers side door, there will be a few stickers, one will say color : ##### and straight down there will be one with all of the vehicle info on it....including the model, it will say INTEGRA LS/GS etc. whichever one it happens to be

The second one has had the front bumper painted at some point (most likely because of an accident) i can tell because the supports in the grill are also painted-the factory paint never has that.

Im in Detroit which is not too far from ontario (depending on where you are), i found my car on xceedspeed.com if you want to check it out

Thanksss alot!! i was looking for this kinda information when looking at cars! I phoned a few people and im suprised at how some people dont know the model of car they have....im really looking into a LS,GS or GSR if the price is right for the GSR. Going to a used car lot today to see if my dads buddy can find a steal. Ill make sure to give it a good look over following some tips you gave :)

:thumbs up no problem

i actually thought both of my tegs were an LS, but i recently discovered the one ive owned for almost 2 years is a GS, (shouldve known based on the leather seats and the spoiler)

If you haven't already looked check the London Kijiji. They have a couple nice clean ones on there. I looked today when I was at work.
I wouldn't be too concerned about buying used. Just make sure it has a good clean title, maintence records, and obvious signs that it's been taken care of(like clean oil). It's always good to put it up on a hoist if you have access to a lift. That way you can check ball joints and tie rods and every thing else you wouldn't be able to look at other wise. If your not comfortable or have enough knowledge about checking things like that bring a mechanic or someone you know who is more knowledgeable along with you. I got my civic off Kijiji for $1,500 and just checked it over and it's been fine.
Good luck with your search and don't rush yourself. A good clean car will always come around. :)
