Solution: top tier speed shop gets HRC approval to do a formal package...perhaps HRC. Person pays real cost, say another 50k. That's it. Maybe a warranty...probably not. The market is tiny. The rest of us just do minor reliability mods and have fun. Probably under 5k per car for the latter...
Just fyi - after getting a sample sheet, the fabric at Sunvisor Solutions that seems to match the FL5 sunvisor is called (at least for a 2025)

I have nothing to do with the company. Just wanted to share a data point.
Used Pilot Alpin 5's last winter. Great tire. Quiet. Not as sharp as a summer tire, but pretty good...and no worries in the very cold. On original wheels. OEM sized...perhaps the only tire you can get in 265-30-19 btw. Supposed to be far better than all seasons in snow....probably true but...
If it gets cold where you live....not a great solution. Had an antigravity in another brand of car....the car failed to work with it. Had to return it. Antigravity was great about it all.
I drive it every day....heated steering wheel is way better than seats...trust me. And fabric is far less "cold" than leather, so it is not bad in the winter imho. Wood knob is way better than metal winter (and summer)... Etc. I like the stock R suspension in sport so go figure. The exhaust -...
Hi,
I really like folding mirrors and had them on prior cars.
But, I was always worried about the cost to fix them and for the civc type R I am a big believer in KISS...less weight. less motors. less moving parts.....so I actually like for this car the lack of them.
Less is more.
I bought Verus little blocks designed to clamp onto the pinch welds where you jack ...protecting them. Chose red. Mechanic LOVES them (as do I)....eacy to find, function well. Tire shop loved it too..... My jack works find with them.
The +60 is so that the front suspension has little to no torque steer.
Having tried the Forged OEM wheels and some other more common Forged 18" wheels with 200 track tires with a "better" stance, the +60 DROVE superiorly to me because I don't like torque steer.
So, as I bought the car to drive...
This is from a Facebook post by Mr. Brereton. dated 6/3/2025.
Based on my experiences on other platforms and with a lot of prior track time, I think he may be (edited from "is") correct.
The Type R FL5 (what we have) is near perfect. Be mindful that perfect is really hard to achieve...balance is...
My playing with Gemini High end for a few minutes and adding some editorial:
For the Honda Civic Type R (FL5), Verus Engineering is the primary aftermarket company that consistently publishes detailed aerodynamic data (but they have not released their FL5 parts yet....), while HKS provides...
Just like those without an R should not install a a huge wing (unless balanced with full car aero..front, and perhaps even with side data considered), those with an R should not delete without knowing what you are doing.....
Honda tested the car and what they sold was optimized. Their...
JDC customs can do black, silver, gold, rainbow.....it looks the same save no "bezel rehaut" but not sure if they did it...they absolutely could - and black does go exactly with the dash...so cudos to chuck76. I like it a lot too! Fit is perfect for the record. See pictures in the plastic...
As a GT car owner and 993 owner....the Rennlist thread is your friend...the GT3 crowd moved it as it was probably seen as too threatening....and disruptive to their discussions on paint color and thread color matching with leather steering columns (those are big time issues nowadays as the GT3...
