As an owner of CW I strongly disagree. Lol. I like how the car flies under the radar a bit and only people who know what it is are interested in talking about it. This is your thread though. I’ll just leave this here for a nice comparison shot of both.

A real triumph of the FL5's design is I like every single color on it so much that I constantly waffle on which is my favorite. I love my CW for it's old school Integra DC2 JDM vibes. Every time I see a new RR photo it looks so sporty and aggressive and INTENSE. The BB reminds me of the 2001 Civic Si and is so visually fun and striking. The SGP is unique and seems to completely change color and demeanor depending on the smallest changes in light. The Black is absolutely murdered out and what you might lose in body definition you gain in killer stealth looks.

It's just a really nice car and I'm so glad to see more people get their hands on it.

Very well said. Every color has its own fans with justified reasons behind their color preferences. There is no bad color on the Type R, just different shades for different folks.

Couldn’t have said it better myself ?

I love BBP looks different depending on how the light hits it

I'm also starting to notice the Honda CF wing looks pretty nice with the lowered FL5. Before lowering, I just didn't noticed it too much...now, it's also "look at me, look at me", almost :)

I agree, I love the oem cf wing, but I’m waiting on the spoon one to drop

I hate tint honestly, I went with clear tint just to protect the inside and keep the uv’s out

First wash!! Love this color in the sun. Gotta get the widows tinted. No a fan of the fish bowl look. :)

She looks great! Regarding the tint, you have to say the visibility out of this car is awesome. So nice to have a fairly upright windshield and a dash that isn’t 10,000 feet deep.

with all the black accents a light tint does look good. Too dark and it hides the awesome red seats
