The FL5 is rad af. For me, as soon as they announced the 11th gen Civic and the initial renders of a potential Type R came out, I was in love. I think if you like the look it is an absolute no brainer, and frankly I think if you don’t like how this car looks there’s something wrong with you...
I went with my third color choice, and now going back and looking at my first two choices, I’m glad I went for it.
Originally I was SGP/CW, then maybe Black or Blue followed by Red. I went with Blue as that’s what my local dealer got and they gave me a really fair deal.
Only took me about...
It isn't an LED bulb. Neither were the rear turn signals or reverse lights. I changed those immediately with the bulbs I pulled out of my Si.
Still have to get a bulb for the trunk space, just not sure if I'm going to go white or red.
I have them both for the FL5, they’re as good as they look. Seatbacks connect with Velcro that seems stable and strong. Type R logo a great touch.
Now just for changing that trunk light bulb…
Thanks for starting this, I’m definitely interested in getting some tire feedback for cold wet Pacific Northwest winters. Don’t plan on doing a ton of snow driving but I’d like tires that can handle a bit, but that are particularly good in 30s/40s and wet conditions.
I got the forged wheels...
They may be different but I’m not sure. I could measure it if you’re interested. Though if you’re in a Type R you probably don’t want to give up the red. :-)
I have an SGP and black front emblem I could sell you right now. Took it off my Si before the trade in.
I also had him do my Si emblems with plain black outline and base (instead of the chrome) and reflective red and they were awesome.
Just want to get some new H badges with black and red instead of the chrome and red.
May get a couple Type R badges with the reflective red R but haven’t decided if I want to swap out those and the Civic badge because I like how they’re a gunmetal color as opposed to gloss black. ?‍♂️
