Official SONIC GRAY PEARL FL5 Type R Photos Thread

[Clark_Kent]

@Drew30101 @Clark_Kent Georgia represent! If we get a few more guys on here fr the area we should schedule a Southeast meet up, maybe next Autumn.

Nice! Squad Goals @Clark_Kent I parked right next to the BB and wondered if he was excited to see another FL5 or hating lol. I don’t think he’s on the forums, he never responded to my photo.

Definitely! Just let me know when and where. There are at least five of us in GA on the forums if my memory serves me.

I have yet to see another FL5 on the road in GA. The only two I've seen in person were the Boost Blue FL5s for sale at Curry Honda in Chamblee. I did come come back to this one day...

Speaking of Curry Honda, I was gonna take my FL5 in to them for maintenance because they're close by. Do any of the ATL area dealers seem better than others for regular maintenance stuff?

I can't speak to their Service; however, I will take my car there when the time comes because it's conveniently located. Perhaps other locals can provide perspective on their Service Dept.

I’ve been on the hunt for a couple months and will hopefully join you all one day!

I wonder the same. We brought our ‘22 Si to Curry Honda for an oil change last year, it took them 2 hours! And we had an appointment lol. But really no other complaints, pretty routine stuff.

Picked her up this morning from Performance Honda in Fairfield, OH and drove back home to Alabama. The dealer honored my request of minimal PDI and not washing it, so I kept all the plastics on when driving it back home (will be putting PPF on the front end soon). 52k OTD

It's my first manual car and so far it has exceeded all expectations!

Great deal! Were you on a waiting list or did you just get lucky finding a dealer with a reasonable price?

Thanks! I found a dealer willing to do 5k markup (thanks to @AspecR for posting all the dealer allocations) The lower sale tax around here on cars (~4%) is what helped keep the otd price lower. I’m super happy with it for the price I paid

Nice! I'm in Huntsville. I actually bought my car in Birmingham back in Feb. Got it from Brannon Honda. Had my ppf installed at Insane Paint Auto Detailing in Pelham. Great guys.

Nice! I bought my previous Civic from them, a 17 EX. Wanted to get my fl5 from them but they had no clue if they would get another. So I have you to thank for having to fly to Ohio

I’ll check out that detailing shop, how much did they charge you for ppf if you don’t mind me asking?

Glad I can help out a fellow member

I think the cost of ppf for me was 4500 for full coverage. I had other things added on so I don't remember my total. This was my first vehicle getting ppf and such, so I have no clue if I overpaid or not. I'm sure others on here can chime in if I did or didn't.

Weekend post wash. Btw drying car with wet/dry vac air is incredible compared to towel drying..
