It feels like a weird combo of the FK8 and FL5 front ends. I'm not sure I like it. Or I'm just validating my purchase of an FL5.

Either one.

Both of those AI slop pics look terrible.

I'll wait to see actual unrapped pictures from Honda that didn't cause a town next to a data center to have undrinkable water.

If so that's super disappointing. The images look a bit shopped or something though, maybe just over edited.

Guess I'll just look forward to the mechanical parts list.

The bottom one is likely a render or overly photoshopped like you said, but that top one is in broad daylight.

Most of the stuff looks like it's meant to just be add-ons. Like the fender vents utilize the original fenders, and if you peek at the video you can see it literally just clips onto the old fenders+some holes they cut. They didn't want to go through the hassle of a true refresh (new bumper, new fenders), so I imagine this was what they could do without breaking the bank.

They also already released most of the mechanical changes via that hrc program I'll bet. This car will just be the equivalent of a current type r that someone modified to be OEM+ with its own bodykit
