Touch up paint pen for sure will be better, but the sharpie (not just a black marker - an actual Sharpie branded marker) worked just fine for me. It is a good stop gap measure until you do something more permanent.

I am totally going this route when I need new tires for the summer wheels.

Tee Public is my go to for stuff like this. Search Honda Civic and you will find a bunch of options. Typically you can add just about any design to a tee-shirt, sweatshirt/hoodie, hat, decal, etc. https://www.teepublic.com/

Ordered a custom gear shift "hoodie" from a vendor on Etsy to help with the cold and hot days.

What are your tire and wheel specs?

Not sure I like the color match wing in the other colors (nothing looks bad, my subjective opinion is the black wing is better) but something about the red makes it work for me.

These thoughts exactly. While the CT4 V Blackwing has an MRSP of $62,195, the only 2025 I see for sale in my area is listed at $79,670.The lowest priced 2024 is listed at $81,265. And as Bigfx stated, CT5 V Blackwings are comfortably above $100k. So even with the CT4 V (which has a tiny...

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).

Sounds like it was this: https://recoilaudio.com/product/rw8d2-echo-series-8-inch-400-watts-power-dual-2-ohm-voice-coil-2-black-coated-4-layer-high-temperature-voice-coil-competition-grade-pressed-paper-cone-car-audio/

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...
