Is anyone else annoyed af about how the brake light doesn’t go all the way across the top of the taillights? I’ve seen it in person a bunch in my area and the light looks incomplete while braking…
Annoying but honestly thats the aesthetic they are going for. Looks bad in broad daylight but at night it looks really good.

The taillight light bar has been a trend for a few years now and there really isnt that I can think of that fully lights up.

Here is a good driving vid from 15m on - general themes i got from youtube translate are it has very high limits, when it breaks traction at the limit the car is composed and slides under control.

Boost blue. Some Japanese dealers are giving away postcards signed by the Honda F1 driver with purchase contracts.



And a sonic gray, since we haven't seen new pics in a while.

Agreed. In an era where even the cheapest cars now come with full LEDs, the design and bulbs used on the Type R already feels dated. It’s the only disappointment I have with the exterior
Yep - for me the very 'busy' reflector style rear reverse (clear) lights look extremely out of place especially when you consider how sleek the front lights are - seem like they were designed by different teams who didn't bother talking to each other.

But the night shots where only the red is visible, look great.

Would they look OEM though? I’m new to type r but any of the prior gen aftermarket lights I look up seem very riced out.
Even if it doesn't, it's super fun when the color of the LED doesn't quite match the sides, and you end up with a strip in the middle that's slightly pink, orange, dim, etc.

I said I would never buy a black car, but it's the only color that wing looks good on. Otherwise, I'll be forced to pay even more $$$ to have it color matched. I guess I'd be able to use my wife's favorite expression against her.... "It's only money honey, can't take it to the grave!"

How much would that be at a good paint shop?
