I would like to see a dark green pearl.

I believe this is the color of the Acura Integra TypeR

Yellow. I hadn't thought of that color. Nice....

I hope the car comes in traditional R colors:

Championship White
Black Pearl (there were a few variations)
Milano Red
Phoenix Yellow
Silver Metallic (there were a few variations)
Blue Pearl

I think the type R should come in 3 specialty Hatch colors. So you know it's a Type R at a quick glimpse.

 

[JYR]

Agreed. I hope the R has it's own colors.

Don't get your hopes up. With Honda if it has a manual transmission it will come in black, silver, and gray. JK, my guess is white, red, and black.

A Type R is only one color to me. Championship White AKA NH-0. That is all.

I know Honda said it's just a decal, but damn, give me that brushed metal look.

It's a 3M Wrap - Brushed Alloy, probably cost you about $2,000 in vinyl alone but it's space-age vinyl, can actually be removed and re-used ! Amazing stuff, but very HEAVY !!

@Gaijin-Garage ...what with the 6-pot calipers coming soon photo? Is that referencing plans or plans under development? Theres chatter that Mugen already has a new R for prototyping parts, does Spoon also have a car? -or are they sharing a car for development?

I can't say too much about development etc. apart from the 6-Piston Calipers from Spoon are already undergoing testing, they recently did 9-HOUR (!!!) race at Suzuka (in the middle of summer) and they performed exceptionally well however Spoon has a very comprehensive testing schedule including more endurance racing and street testing etc.
