  1. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    It is quite odd that there can be such a difference between US and Canada in terms of what is deemed safe and what is not. I assume in Canada, removing the rear wiper was safety concern. Perhaps, due to the Type R being a hatchback because come to think of it any hatchback/liftback vehicle has...
  2. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    I am quite certain that the Swindon factory did stick to removing sound deadening material. How much exactly on the Canadian model I can't say, but the dash and roof were vacant of the material. My friend, a body man confirmed this. I also noticed that the LE is definitely louder in the...
  3. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Nice RR Type R, those are rare up in the Great White North, but if you have 2 x LE's, that's an even better scenario. I've heard about the Honda Museum in Torrance, CA...always wanted to go, but haven't had the chance. Definitely on my bucket list. If you're moving up North for the long...
  4. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Totally agree and I know where you're coming from. When the FK8 first released, I was like "wow" that's bold,loud, in your face. Being in my 40's was a bit concerned that it would be too much. After getting it though, it's looks have really grown on me, it's got the "character" to match the...
  5. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    In all honesty, it was more for curiosity sake then anything with the FL5. The interior attracts me the most about it. Other than that, can't really say anything else really jumps out above the FK8. So that alone isn't worth it.
  6. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Richmond Honda! Yes, I wish I had a photo of my reaction when I saw $55K, PRICELESS!
  7. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    No idea, something tells me Honda Canada will be greedy this time around and try to maximize profit. I'll be ready with mouse in hand as well.
  8. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Stopped by dealership to check out the FL5 Stopped by the dealership today and saw the FL5 in person. It definitely looked smaller in person and not as wide and broad as in photos. The SGP looks better in person too. That said, they offered me $55K (CAD) trade in for the LE and $50K...
  9. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    I'm going to visit the dealership anyways to see them side by side (SGP FL5 vs LE) since I haven't seen a FL5 in person yet. Very curious to observe the size difference. The FL5 looks quite bit larger in photos/videos. When it was first released, my immediate thought of the FL5 was an...
  10. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    That's awesome, you have best of both worlds with the LE and FL5. Nice financial planning, flipping LE's to eventually get one for free. I started with 18" CTR, then upgraded to the 20" BB CTR, I wanted to keep the BB CTR as a daily and the LE as the garage queen. Unfortunately, with 3 kids...
  11. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Glad to hear I'm not the only one out there in the same conundrum. Initially, when the FK8 first came out, it was a bit much, but over time the styling has really grown on me. I love the FL5 interior, but the outside is almost to toned down and subdued. I might just flip a coin on this...
  12. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    This is true, case in point, 2001 Phoenix Yellow Integra Type R's range from $60K to $100K depending on condition.
  13. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    The FL5 will be MSRP, the trade in for LE would be very close to the FL5 MSRP. I guess the bigger question is do I like the FL5 enough to trade in my LE or wait for a FL5 refresh, but who knows what the supply chain will look like in a couple of years.
  14. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Thanks, luckily I was one of the lucky 100 in Canada that got their LE's for MSRP. All great points you mentioned, there will likely be a FL5 refresh with an LE option. I like the FL5, just not prepared to get scammed or "duped" value wise.
  15. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    I haven't taken the car to the dealership yet for a valuation yet, I would want at least what I paid for the LE in trade in value. The FL5 would cost MRSP.
  16. FK8 LE or FL5 (Sonic Grey)

    Hi All! I need some help and some opinion from FK8 & FL5 owners. I currently have a 2021 LE (FK8), I love it, Phoenix Yellow just looks perfect on the FK8. That said, I have the opportunity to trade in the LE for a FL5 (Sonic Grey). I'm torn and don't know what to do, my biggest questions...
