I was thinking about it from “thief desirability” perspective. Type R stands out, but type s can fly under the radar much more if bought with a boring color like black or silver.

I’m in Cupertino. And the R is my daily. Is it “safer” to own a Type S ?

Thanks for the above replies, all helpful. They broke through using the car’s door handle and programmed their own key. I owe about 25k on it, it’s a 2025 and it was pretty much pristine before the theft. It will likely not get totaled, there’s physical damage around the door handle and inside...

The immobilizer did nothing with the exception of me needing to tow the vehicle because the factory key didn’t work once the car was recovered by PD. Any suggestions in terms of dealing with insurance? I’m pretty much hosed, right? My car / carfax will get theft recovery treatment, the $ value...

Hey guys, my type R was stolen last night and recovered within 24hrs. Likely taken for a fun spin as the officer who recovered the car mentioned. Damage to driver side door, interior panel behind the screen (wiring) and the car currently doesn’t start, having it towed to nearest dealership for...

I would have to drive them back-to-back and any difference would be marginal. I'll share another update in a few weeks to see how...

Can't really tell a difference on a highway but I've driven it less than 20miles since install. Will update after a few days to see if there is a difference.

Update as the new windshield was installed today. Took a long time to sort through the options and align with the shop on best path forward (given my circumstances). I didn't go through insurance and wanted something else than the same exact spec as the stock windshield is too brittle. Didn't...

Less than 1,300 miles on my FL5 and already dealing with cracked windshield. It's not repairable so will have to replace the windshield. Does anyone happen to know whether standard Civic's windshield will work? Or will I have to order specifically a Type R unit as no other solutions exist at...
