There are seams at the 2 junctions between the horizontal and vertical panels (on each end). I donāt see how else they would be able to form this design in one finished piece otherwise. The issue is that the seams are huge in OPās example. They shouldnāt look like that. I know mine didnāt. I...
These may be images of the actual stuff that Honda is coming out with, but theyāre all renderings my man (including the ādaylightā image). If you knew the things I know about marketing images and how theyāre made, youād be absolutely mindblown by the amount of stuff that we look at every day (in...
Sheās pretty, but Iām not sure about her underbite. She probably makes a huge mess at her water dish. Hahaha! Iād have to see it in person.
Same thing kinda happened with the 11th gen facelift. In early pics the lower front reminded me of Darth Vaderās mask because of how it juts outward. But...
Yeah. Not to derail the thread, but the opportunity to get a beautiful, impeccably maintained, AP1 came along. I couldnāt resist. Itās one of those cars Iāve wanted/needed to experience for the last 20+ years, but the timing wasnāt right to get a strictly fun car (and I donāt have the garage...
Like I said before, I no longer own it. I sold my car about 6 weeks ago (it was time for an S2000), but I have a very clear memory of how it looked. I admired it and cleaned/polished it all the time for nearly 3 years.š
Giuseppe be slackinā on yours.š¤£
As a follow-up, hereās what the box label and Bucci inner label looks like on mine (bought in 2023 direct from a Honda dealership in Missouri). Apparently mine was produced in 2022. Regarding the Honda sticker on the wing, itās a white sticker (with black print) and clear blue protective tape...
I still have my OE wing (stored in the box that my CF wing arrived in). I bought it in 2023, so it was a Bucci part. I can take a look in a bit to see if there was a Bucci sticker on the foam wrapper. I still have the CF console cover also. Bought in 2023 (I need to list it for sale) and it came...
Just to affirm what others are saying : As a former owner of one of these (who spent a lot of time admiring it) I can definitively say that mine DID NOT look like that. Yes, you can see the seams where the carbon sheets meet (as expected), but there werenāt these massive gaps as seen in yours.
Yep. Being ācar richā is definitely a thing and really dumb. My family had a plumbing business and my dad used to hate working at some peopleās houses. Theyād have very nice, new, vehicles in the driveway, but wanted to be on a payment plan for even just a $100-$200 job!
Ghey? Lol! Also, no one is debating here. They both have their pros and cons.
My buddy went from a AP2 to an NSX NA2. Indeed the NSX is next level. Whatās crazy is how VERY VERY similar they both are to drive, including how they feel and handle. They are definitely big bro and little bro and...
Dudeā¦you do NEED one. One of my best friends had one (before his NSX). His words : āMy only regret is selling it.ā I really think itās one of those cars that every enthusiast should own at some point in their car journey while clean examples are still attainable and not ragged out.
Thank you! I definitely wouldāve considered an AP2 if I found one in as good of condition as this car (and the price was right). But this one was in front of me and itās the OG (and single owner and original). Neither AP1s nor AP2s show up in my area for sale often and when they do they sell...
This is AWESOME info! Thank you so much!
Iāll post some pics and deets in a bit fellas. I didnāt want to take too much attention away from what this forum is for, but I also knew yāall werenāt gonna just let this slide unnoticed.š Hereās a little preview from the day I bought it. @Clark_Kent...
The shifter is similar, for sure. The S2kās throws are significantly shorter and feel more mechanical (which makes sense, of course). I liked the shifter in the FL5. It was always smooth and effortless for me, but I can also understand why folks switch to Acuity to really dial-in the feel.
Well, I did this a few days ago, but a super clean S2000 AP1 showed up nearby and I traded my FL5 for it + some cash back in my pocket. It was a very hard decision that I had been noodling for months. When this one showed up I just couldnāt let the opportunity slip away. The car was meticulously...
Right! I would rather have a conservative low mark (OEM) versus a seemingly random low mark. Is it dangerously low at that point? No one knows. Even Wunderladenās explanation was VERY wishy washy. As such I donāt trust it, despite the fact I check my oil regularly and would never let it get that...
Perhaps weāre more on the same page than I understood. Where we seem to diverge is on the topic of the OE stick and its markings. Theyāre there for a reason. We know that. However, no one here is an engineer for Honda, so speculating on their accuracy and/or possible lack of keeping a tight ship...
Had Wunderladen simply provided explanation AND included the OEM marks in the design (for visual reference to Hondaās standard), Iād LOVE the product! Iād likely have one now! Without the standard markings, Wunderladenās high and low marks are simply not as helpful as they should be.
