RE: CTR Red Strips

[UFO CTR]

Guys,
I'm having a difficult time with the red stripe on the lip, skirt and rear diffuser of the CTR's...
I'm thinking no matter what color CTR I end up with, I'm deleting the red stripes.
Do you guys think the CTR will look sleeker without the red stripes?

No, it makes the Type R, a Type R. I'll be leaving mine OEM

You see...
It's so polarizing!

I agree that at first, I preferred the red (other than the paintjob) only on the H badges, the seats, and parts of the dash. As I've been getting used to seeing pics of the CTR, the red accents along the underbody and the wheels have kinda grown on me. Scary.

I personally wish it didn't come with the red stripes. I think the red stripes were part of a package in UK on the previous generation and it looked good without the stripes.

If it has them, I'll probably leave them...as long as they don't lift off or get gross.

I'm hoping to delete the fake carbon crap around the bottom, taking the red stripes with it. Sometimes less is more. The fenders and the wing and the red interior are more than enough IMHO. The red stripe and fake carbon cheese it up a bit too much. We'll see. I may be lazy and/or sentimental and leave it stock too.

I actually need to get one first though!!!

The exterior red stripe is here and there, but the interior stripe may have to go. Not sure I can stare at that all the time,

The red lip trim would be an easy fix, but I think I intend to leave it as is. It's the only car if ever owned where I literally don't want to change anything, just to keep its Honda factory freshness.

Canadian pride red.

I'd like to body color match the aero bits and the grill. Calling Photoshoppers.

Agreed.
I like the body kit to be body color too...it would look sick!

I really liked what they did with FK2 options, let customers choose and it doesn't really add that much cost given you choose when you order the car.

Hmmm... That'd be interesting to see how much it'd change the overall look of the car.

Curious if any of you will actually get a CTR this year. The ones around here are already sold to friends of the owner of dealerships.

It would probably look like Type R's pre FK2. I'm seriously thinking of going to a paint shop to get a quote.
