Honda Civic Type-R Over sticker dealer naughty list.

[romuhhhr]

I hit the corner just less than 2 min from home. Was on the way back from Tint job. I took the right at the light too early and nicked the street corner.

Ouch!

If that’s the case could more rubber and smaller diameter wheel avoided the damage?

I believe so because it would have hit rubber and maybe rolled over but then again if it hit sidewall then tire puncture or graze may have occured.

Normally I would just let it be but a new car...I would find a good wheel repair shop and have it fixed. Or, find 1 or 2 oem wheels and put that one aside.

Car looks great BTW.

id never think when i started looking for one (slight delay in shopping from wildfires aside), that it would be this hard to find one at list

Thanks, I didn't expect to get a battle scar this early in its life, but I knew that eventually something would happen along the way. I'll make use of the tire/wheel warranty and have that wheel repaired in case I may need to resell this vehicle in the future, I"ll have the OEM wheels to put back on the car. I'm seriously looking at the 18s because of that thicker sidewall and overall tire can take more of a beating rather than these really thin rubber bands. 18s are the way to go in situations like this. I'm just luckily the graze didn't get too deep into the sidewall- it basically peeled off the thicker part of the tire lining that sticks out a little bit that's more for cosmetic than function.

Big batch of 2021 CTR landed on the CTR by zip code Honda site. Must have been update no more than 24 hours before I came across it. I found 8 Boost blue. I called all of the locations. Dont ask me how I feel right now.
3 - Already sold
2 - 5k+ MSRP
3 - Never called me back. I assume meaning its already sold and not worth telling me.

Interesting, but sorry to hear about your frustration.

Did you happen to notice any LE models shown? I’ve not seen or heard anything regarding them since earlier this month. Thanks.

Keep us updated on how the tire/wheel warranty process goes. Thnx

For what it's worth I got a few battle scars within my first three-four weeks of owning it (curbed the wheels, and bonked the lip against a curb), but I let them be, as I felt like I would just do it again if I got them fixed.

I understand not settling and all, but if your really want a Type R for the life of me I don't understand why you are stuck on one color. I remember when i only wanted a certain color of Type R but after driving my Type R for as long as i've had it now. Color really doesn't mean a damn to me anymore. The car is a blast to drive no matter what color it is.

I believe if you would keep your options open you would be driving a CTR by now.

I would even buy a BLACK CTR because people here are making Black look good. I'm not Racist

Pretty much, being deadset on a color means you're going to just make it impossibly difficult on yourself.

I only wanted Rallye Red when I bought my CTR and I held out until I found it at MSRP. Took about 4 months in total, but for folks hunting for Boost Blue, unfortunately because it's unique to 2020 and 2021, and because there's way less inventory of available new CTRs now than ever before, it'll require more leg work to obtain at MSRP. I don't blame anyone for being stuck on a single color, I was and I'm very happy I stuck to my guns for red.

My brother on the other hand, who also got a 2019 CTR, didn't mind ABP, CBP or RR. He ended up landing on red as well for MSRP

Our Type Rs are beautiful no matter what color you choose. I think you have to be open minded about being happy with choice 2 if choice 1 is limiting and causing you unnecessary stress in looking for one. The longer you put it off, the less chances you'll get into one any sooner. My original choice I wanted to go with was red but I moved too late on one that was later purchased by a fellow member here. I was glad that he was able to get it and so l moved on with my 2nd choice (SGP). I immediately jumped on one when I saw it at MSRP and like my father in law always says, "Strike while the iron is still hot!"
