What did you pay for your FL5?

Looks like it's coming to an end, at least in Europe.

I think this is further justification for me to pick up mine a couple of weeks ago without too much of an ADM. Still hurts that I had to pay $2k over, but at least it's not $5k or $10k I can imagine dealers will be wanting at least $20k over for this Ultimate Edition!

Payed 5k over for my 2023, to be fair I only paid 1K more then you!

By far the best deal I could find. MSRP and they tossed in a few extras, I already had TuxMats so the all weather mats were useless. Wheel locks and Cargo Tray is nice, the tint and door edge protection is decent. They don't even make Type R Splash Guards so I'm not sure why that's on there, but if they removed that they would just remove the same amount from the Discount section so it makes no difference.

New 2025 Champ White.

Going to look at a CW type R in two weeks after we move back from Taiwan. Quoted MSRP online from our local dealership, hopefully nothing tacked on, I won't pay any of that, several local dealerships seem to have 2 or even 3 of them now.

Just sold our Ford Focus Lommel X for $18,600, which is pretty good considering we paid $28k 3 years ago, but helped by the Taiwan dollar being way up thanks to Trump.

Amazingly the Focus had zero issues in 3 years. I will miss that car.

A while ago someone posted here and didn’t pay much attention to it . Thinking I didn’t need it until weeks later I happened to look at my drivers seat were the seat belt slaps back . Sure enough I saw some slight wear . Temporary fix put some Velcro on it ugly but effective and I’m also guiding the seat belt all the way back when” I think of it “ . If anyone has a link or that mod name please let me know it was some kind of plastic clip that went exactly were my Velcro was placed .

Tucked in for the day after a few quick spirted drives today . Time for some e UfC action

That may not be a bad option, but I like the look of the Bride and went that route.

Got mine from Blackhawk Japan. But you can also search ebay using the part number provided in the link.
BRIDE FASHION PROTECTOR RED For K08BPO - Black Hawk Japan

This is also a great alternative if you want to hold the seatbelt on the seat (similar to what @evlsmurf posted, but made by Bride)
BRIDE SEAT BELT GUIDE RED K26BPO - Black Hawk Japan

I also tend to be careful when releasing the seatbelt and placing it back to its resting spot rather than just flinging it off of me.

Thanks man ! Yeah I also try to be careful on the release just from having so many cars with tinted windows so the buckle doesn’t bounce off the window it’s almost like muscle memory but there are times I forget . Although my type r still has virgin glass lol.

I had 3M crystalline installed the first week after picking up the car. Trying to preserve the seat as long as I can from turning pink

Mine is a garage queen plus living by the coast when I am out it never bakes in the sun. 70’s all year normally and it’s 80 during a heat wave . My biggest fear would be my interior turning pink though lol. In about 16 months I have a wopping 3500 miles of pure joy . I thought about tinting it though for that reason you mentioned but again in almost a year and half it looks like she just rolled off the showroom floor. I made a choice no front license plate or window tint no plate won. Just cutting the odds for not getting pulled over so far knock on wood it’s working .

If you like the fishbowl look, you can go with 70% tint. Crystalline don't require dark tint to reject UV.

I've already put about 800 miles only 2 months of ownership and I thought mine was being a garage queen
