Agreed, but the only time you'll have over heating issues is at the track so I don't think they really cared too much about that since the vast majority never track the car.I definitely second the "aggressive" piece of that. They've been out so long and I've looked at mine for 3 years straight so I totally forgot how aggressive the design was when it came out. It's actually the reason I got the car... Looks amazing with the practicality to fit most anything you want.
Honda is huge on MPG ratings so I'd have to agree there as well, they're not really after cooling benefits from the factory. Makes sense for the base models but most people buy an R to at least have SOME fun with it.... so you would think they would have maybe modified the design to be more functional.
I originally cut out the diamonds back in 2017 cause I simply didn't like the look of it being fake. It's the same reason I've replaced all the faux carbon fiber with real carbon fiber.
Then this past year I got into tracking the car and building it up for performance and luckily my more functional vents allowed me to install a dual oil cooler system.
I wish Honda had simply made the car this way, but I am appreciative that we have the ability to utalize that space regardless.
