I have no desire to do so!

I'm glad you ended up getting a CTR! How crazy is this. I feel like it's a reunion. I just threw the Boostlag thing out there.

Hey guys, new guy here!
I just drove the new Type S... And a quick breakdown IMO

1. The seats sucked, i'm 6'1 165lbs, didn't hug me what so ever.
2. Didn't feel special
3. body gaps were awful.
4. the stick on fenders looked worse than photos!
5. Handled great, very little body roll
6. Didn't feel super quick, but i'm use to faster cars. I'm sure with a tune they really come alive

Overall, not too impressed.. I have a $1000 deposit on a Type R i'm going to get or possibly turn down tomorrow.. I'm crossing my fingers i like it more than the Acura!

I can assure you that you will see no such body panel gaps on a Type R as it is assembled in Japan. The Japanese enjoys details and it is a part of their culture.

I haven't seen the Type S in person but the Type R looks and feels very special to me every time I am near it.

The real "flare" fenders front and back, front wheel well air outlets, body kit, Speciale style rear fender air guide, racing seats, and the heritage. On the same mountain road, it is not far behind my 991.2 GT3. Light to the touch, quick steering, excellent body control, and more than enough power. Sometimes I forget that there are two doors and a trunk behind me. The car feels like it could have came from Porsche. And all of this for about $55k !

Also, without creating a new thread.. Is there any specific parts of the car that need PPF right away? I thought I read right behind the fender vents needs it but can't seem to find that topic now.
The entire front end, the area behind the front fender vents and the rear quarters. They need ppf asap

I stopped at the dealership to snap a pic.

I don’t like it in person too much. I’m not a fan of the grill, rear end, or seats.
Me too, i like the Simple design of CTR!!!!
