Reposting an old message of mine:
I've done a PRL intake and have a TSP downpipe on order. Been driving on the Hondata basemap for a few weeks and while the power bump was nice, the tune felt a little dirty. Worked with @Jester04 yesterday and my goodness does this car move effortlessly now...
It always starts with one prospective buyer asking for opinions. Then it usually deteriorates into a Type R vs Type S Civil war, but this thread has remained relatively civil.
Also everyone in this thread should give themselves a pat on the back because we've made it to page 2 of one of these threads without devolving into a full blown flame war
I think the reason I so strongly prefer the Type-R interior is due to the fact that I drove a 2009 Camry 4 cyl for 16 years prior to buying this car. I understand how some may not like the flashiness, but if anyone in the world needed some excitement, it was me.

Used for about 2 days, then sat in my desk drawer for about a year. Too light for my taste. $120 shipped to USA. PayPal friends and family. Will provide references as a seller on this forum if requested.
Set of 4 Bonoss T6061 15mm spacers for FL5/DE5. Will not come with original box.
Saw how much interest the other sale had and realized I should go ahead and sell mine since I'm not going to use them anymore.
I had them installed 4/18/25 while I was getting an alignment done and my OEM forged...
