  1. Body shop recs in Bay Area for CW?

    Do we think this is close enough? A bit red in tint, but I understand plastic vs. metal is never exact.
  2. Body shop recs in Bay Area for CW?

    Thanks for the insight. I'm probably just being paranoid.
  3. Body shop recs in Bay Area for CW?

    So, long story short - hit some debris at night and damaged the bumper :mad:. It looks like a full replacement & repaint will be needed. There's a reputable shop near me (East Bay) but I'm worried how well they'll be able to paint match CW. Would love to find a shop with some experience. Any...
  4. New Owner Observation / Stories

    I haven't gotten past break in on the FL5 so I don't have a perfect comparison, but I think they're pretty different experiences - chassis, driven-wheels, size, NA vs. Forced Induction, etc. That said, they're both pretty pure driving experiences for the category they compete in: convertible...
  5. What did you pay for your FL5?

    Folsom Lake Honda.
  6. What did you pay for your FL5?

    Mostly over the phone but I did commit to coming in with a check on a weekend. Dealt with Drew over there - he was very fair.
  7. What did you pay for your FL5?

    Nah, I went to Folsom Lake. Much better taken care of vehicle there.
  8. New Owner Observation / Stories

    Picked up my CW today. Previously was in an ND1 Miata then further back had a 135i and an Evo 8. The FL5 is not a daily, but it'll be driven consistently. First reaction is that this car is wide - very wide. It adds to the feeling of being planted but it surprised me. Second is that the much...
  9. What did you pay for your FL5?

    I haven't tried it with window cracked. It's when I go through a bumpy stretch of road. Sounds like it's high behind left ear.
  10. What did you pay for your FL5?

    Picked up my CW today at $5K over in NorCal. Dealer said prices were settling around this $5K ADM - I think there may be even more downward movement in the next few months, but I was getting fatigued with the search. Car feels so natural, fits like a glove for someone who wanted that JDM turbo...
  11. 2023 Civic Type R Waitlist / Deposit / Reservations List - Check in here!

    Don't know if this is the place to post but was about to pick up a CW in Roseville CA for $5K over. Drove 2 hours and arrived at a car with a nasty scratch in the front bumper. Looks to me like a chain went across it, through clear coat and paint. They offered to fix but said someone else...
  12. Front air dam ground clearance

    Looking to pick up an FL5 but my driveway is insanely steep. Have an ND1 Miata with the club aero and the front lip juuuust about makes it at the perfect angle. Been searching forums etc. for info on ground clearance on the FL5 but it's mostly subjective comparisons. Wondering if anyone has...
  13. Front plate removal aftermath

    Self update. The dealer sent over some photos. It's really minimal and in the black plastic, not the painted bumper.
  14. Front plate removal aftermath

    Finally found one near me in the right color and at a reasonable price. Only problem: dealer drilled and installed the front plate. Been searching through previous posts for an example of what the damage looks like after you remove the front plate but only seen some conflicting info on whether...
