Not sure how I feel about this...

I’m not sure how you feel about it either. Lol. Are you disappointed or something?

It looks pretty disappointing to me.

- No change to the hood. They know the value of additional ventilation (see the TCR car).
- Those wheels are not what they just announced they’re going to sell.
- The wing looks like the OEM one. They know the value of a more aggressive wing (see the TCR car, with a wing available from HRC).
- Still has the fake rear diffuser.
- No brake upgrade.

The front fender changes look interesting. The front end looks lightly modified but nothing aggressive enough to indicate they have serious performance goals in mind (again see the TCR car’s front splitter).

It also looks like there Is a small duckbill lip spoiler on the rear. I don’t see much else that would be compelling about this car from the video or from the announced parts.

Makes me realize how refined and just "right" they got it with the production car.
This is cool - but I don't feel I am less well off with my CW 2025.

For heat have been told that for a stock car, things are not bad and just the lower vented plate pretty much fixes things fully even in hot places. The optional rear wing is great...have one. Not sure it adds downforce. Stock car is super stable.

As far as I can see from the Vid, Could be multimatic shock, PRL intercooler and acuity shifter with some forged wheels.

Goes against the reason I like the FL5 in the first place (less is more) and didn't buy the FK8. Pass .

I'm not impressed with the HRC parts roll out. Different parts on HRC CTR vs HRC ITS in press releases. Very small selection of parts compared to what has been rumored... I don't get it. Feels like a lot of hype without substance.

Agreed, everything shown was announced and displayed at SEMA last year. The HRC FL5 and DE5 should've been launched years ago. they're about to spend more time teasing the cars than actually selling the cars.

Honda really has no idea on how to capitalize on their cache in the aftermarket/tuning space.

I have to agree.

Are those crazy fenders exhausting air from the engine bay?

Here’s the new HRC wheels

Here’s the new HRC wheels

Mmmm I’ll take the bronze ones.

 

[jcb]

I like the wheels...any idea on prices and specs/ I'd be game to move my stock ps4s's onto a set if they were 3k or less for 4.

 

[Ouhei]

Wasn't basically all of this on display at TAS? What's killing me with the HRC stuff is just how long it's taking. We're almost at a year of staring at camo parts and no details on what might be different about their shifter vs the regular ACUITY.
