Type R taillights (OEM) shaped like katana

[IntegraKat]

Anyone else notice?

on the trunk portion for storage, the katana edge is facing up as proper respect to store the blade

on the outer side, the katana edge is face down like in usage or cutting (the car is driving)

This is my own interpretation because the Type R is designed and imported from Japan, where the katana is deeply engrained in the art and culture

I suppose you could also say the reverse lights are symbolic of the sun reflecting off the blade

in the trunk portion, there is visible Suguha style hamon on the blade edge (straight hamon; highly regarded art style)

I like. Good eye!
I probably never would have noticed had no one pointed out these details.

Cheers.

Double bohi (fuller or blood grooves) match the hood vents

Hard not to think Honda Japan did this with some intent

Can see tanto, wakizashi, kogatana styling

also with the longitudinal reflectors styled into the corners of the rear bumper, with both sides of the upper trunk red reflector designs

I won’t keep posting my subpar pics to junk up the place, can go look at the back of your own Type R instead

Changed my mind, here’s another nasty pic of my dirty Type R

she dirty today

Kat, you and I both know that these design elements of the head/taillights on our cars didn’t occur by happenstance. If that were the case, we would end up with crap that looks like this

Well…believe it or not, even rather uninspiring design is created with some intent and purpose behind it. A lot of times good designs get watered by the realities of safety requirements, manufacturability, and ultimately cost. So by the time the design reaches us, it may not quite like the original vision.

Must be why the price of the FL5 is higher than a Jeep Renegade and/or Buick Rendezvous
