I love this! I want to fill up the wheel wells more but don't want to lower the car. Like my Conti's I use in the winter, it seems like they run a bit narrow and look at little "stretched" at 265. Do you think a 275/40 could work without rubbing?

It always surprises me how little back seat legroom 4-door sport sedans have. Why have four-doors if a teenager can't fit comfortably back there!? The rear seat legroom in the Type R is what sealed the deal for my wife. Fun car and comfortable for our family of four.

My guess is that CA dealers just play by different set of rules - but my anecdotal experience, and similar experiences described by other members suggest dealers are much less likely to come down on markups over the phone or email. If a few of those dealers aren't too far a drive, you might...

I also have a set of the Superspeed RFO5RR flow formed wheels. Less than half the price of their forged line. Clearly they won't be as light or as cool as the forged wheel but I have been pleased so far - and they look great.

49 with a wife and two kids (8 and 13).

A black sharpie can work wonders on moderate/minor curb rash. Scraped mine 5 months ago, applied the black sharpie , and it still looks intouched (unless you are getting really close).

Did you ever get the spacers for this setup? Any issues with it if you did?

Looks great! Are they all reasonably low profile? Is it hard to tell that they sit on top of the existing trim?

Used my Type R to deliver a new dishwasher to our cabin. I had initially arranged to get a friend with a pickup to help but took some quick measurements and found that the dishwasher fit easily, with room to spare. I love how practical this fun little car be.

This is exactly what I am doing - following suggestions posted in other threads. Tires were mounted to my 18s this week and will have them installed towards the end of this month. I live in East Tennessee (very infrequent snow but cold temps) so the Contis should do the trick.

I second other posts about Superspeed wheels. I am a fan of the RF05RR as the design has similarities to the stock wheel, but is almost a little better in some ways. I bought a set of 18s with a 45+ offset that I am pairing with Conti DSW06+ for the colder weather.

The theme for my post is teenage JDM fanboys. Picking up my daughter from middle school a kid in her French class ran over and asked me to rev the engine. He went on for a good three minutes listing facts about the FL5 and how it was one of his favorite cars. A week later at the Chick-fil-A...

Got a few photos for you. Let me know if you want different angles.

The lights only come on for me when I am very close to redline. Not sure how others are seeing them around 4 or 5k rpm. I am going to double check my settings consist with earlier posts to see if that makes a difference.

I have never had this issue with my Tux Mats. Only thing I will say is that the mats have what you might describe as horizontal grooves which can catch your heel a bit from time to time. Now that I expect/anticipate this it isn't that big a deal.

Fortunately, I picked up a 2024 FL5 in March. Actually trying to do some longer term planning. My oldest will be ready to inherit my Accord in the 2026 model year and I already have the wife on board to let me take the CTR if we replace it with DE5.

So I feel like I have seen threads (on this and other forums) discussing the expected production runs for the DE5 and FL5 but I can't seem to find the answer to this question (probably just missing it): While I believe the FL5 is expected to have one more year (i.e. 2025) I can't determine...

If it were me, and money wasn't tight, I would spring for a secure indoor storage. Total peace of mind. And wrt insurance - these cars are kinda hard to find. You might not be able to replace it with a new one all that easily.
