New Type R (FL5) Owner!

No, but it helps to get the center point on front of the car to raise it and put the jack stands easier without burning the clutch every time you try to use the other ones at least that’s what I experienced.

I need to find a trusted mechanic I don't know about all this lol I'm better with computers.

I did lol nice images that helps a bunch. I will just suck it up and do the oil change myself if I cant find someone soon.
Texas heat sucks man I sweat a lot and just putting tire shine was hell. Excited for some cold weather soon.

I replaced the black and white ones with the OEM, much better!

Looks great! BUT your H is pointing in the "wrong" direction!

When I put them on I should have taken a picture this was after a drive lol
I wish they just stayed in correct position all the time haha

Me the OCD guy again. What he means is the bottom of the H should be pointing toward the valve stem on the wheel.

And if you get locking lug nuts, the lug nut above the valve stem is the one that gets the lock. It’s an old car-guy thing.

Ah! I see what you mean, great now it's going to bother my semi ocd brain

Alright as you and the OCD guy said, the BOTTOM of the H is now pointing towards the valve stem. I can go on with life lol.
No matter what though the orientation of all Hs are out of sync, we definitely need floating center caps that never move.

Looks like conversion kits do exist:

I wish I had a 3D printer or find this type of floating center cap conversion kit for the FL5 that chat created. I might have to just make my own somehow lol - good product idea or no?

This is me, but in my opinion and OCD I have the lower part facing the valve stem, and the wheel lock is also there, so I’m not fishing. Where is the lock located.But it will defeat the purpose and will look cheap on a Rolls-Royce, ok on a Type R no, not so good. I just mean when you take the tire out, it will be facing that way when you put it back. But at the end, it’s your car; if you like it, go for it.
