First batch of production FL5 Civic Type R are out and about, bound for HK this time. ( RALLYE RED ) ❤️‍🔥

Red is so nice!!!

Also notice the ETC device is now incorporated into the dash trim for JDM models.

Steering wheel & gear boot are suede in a standard form, unlike other markets.

Bose sound system and Bose emblem is missing too from the A pillar.

Would Tsuchiya San choose this over Championship White and Crystal Black?

Beautiful - red/black dual-contrast looks great on the FL5

OT - Thank goodness we are getting the leather steering wheel. The FL1 steering wheel is sooo good and would not be looking forward to wearing gloves every day.

Good to see the back of the seats here aren't glossy as well.

Optional or standard black floor mats? I assume optional and the red ones are stored in the trunk?

I’m kind sad we don’t get the Alcantara back seats and the shift boot

…does this car have a build number or is it 00000?

I'm not; alcantara is a pain to clean and keep looking nice
already looks blotchy in the pic and it's new ^^

Sorry for those incapable of keeping something clean. I understand the steering wheel, you hands are constantly on it.

I've had Alcantara steering wheels, shifters, interior materials and have never had any issues upkeeping, cleaning or detailing them.

Maybe I'm crazy but I enjoy keeping my cars clean inside and out.

So I would 100% want Alcantara everything inside lol

 

[Z3N]

For sure, I detail often and keep my things nice and pristine. Just not my preference over cloth to clean, and mostly due to the blotchy look that it gives; I prefer a more consistent look. Depends on the synthetic blend that goes into it, but most do this.

I'd love leather as an option.

^ the leather wheel is premium on the 11th too.

He owns a white NA2 NSX Type R so I'm thinking he's a CW guy.

Red looks so good on this
