The best thing I can tell you to do is change your rear bulbs to LED and it makes a huge difference -
Xmetal replied to the thread New Type R (FL5) Owner!.I meant that the H should be pointing toward the valve stem lol. We NEED floating center caps, that for sure!

Xmetal replied to the thread New Type R (FL5) Owner!.Looks great! BUT your H is pointing in the "wrong" direction! :slap: :p

I replaced the black and white ones with the OEM, much better!

Xmetal replied to the thread Official BOOST BLUE FL5 Type R Photos Thread.That's because it's the 2nd most popular color produced, right behind Championship White. Still get lots of compliments on the color! -

Xmetal replied to the thread New Type R (FL5) Owner!.My reaction exactly! I don't see mine last more than 20k.

I've got 45k on mine. I kept the old tires because they were on my type r forged rims when I traded in my 24 for my 26.

Genuine OEM does not include the washer with the filter like that.

Seems sketchy...No OEM Honda filter includes a crush washer. Vacuum sealing material used also does not look legit at all.
