2024 Honda Civic FL5 Type R
Hang in there my friends. Look forward to the day we do a meet up when we all get our cars.
Looking forward to that! But I think 90% of people who already owned and/or got allocated with FL5 isn’t a member of this group forum though. We haven’t seen someone here post a delivery of their FL5 in a while. 😂

Wow, where did you find this? Of course we are getting major shafted!
A guy who work in Honda shared it on a FB page, and I think it lines up of what we found so far. The highest reported badge number was 8549 a month ago.

The badge number means nothing though. Mine is 631 and my vin is 0035.

The badge number indicates how many units Honda had made, that's for sure!
The reason why your vin is not matching with your badge is that JDM spec chassis # is not starting from Jxxxxxxx.
All JDM spec FL5 chassis # start with FL5-1xxxxx. And there is Jdm spec chassis # with 1004xxx shown on the internet.

Interesting because I was told that vins are sequential regardless of which country the car ends up.

So are you saying I have the 35th car for North American or Canada?
