look to see where your redline is. if it is higher than 6800 then it is a GSR/ Or open the hood and if it says Vtec then it is a GSR. If your car has GSR rims. some ideas for you.

Look at the hatch and see if you've got a 3rd brake light in the glass..... the gsr was the only one without one there....

If the emblems aren't shaved, it has a DOHC VTEC badge under the right taillight.

I have a gs and it doesn't have one there. I guess because I have the spoiler. I thought the Type R was the only one with it in the glass.

BTW texas, i looked at your posted pictures and it looks like the Vtec badge under the right tail light was shaved off. you can see where it was removed. You probably have the GSR.
