I hated to say it, the rims is more stand out then the car, nice touch
Yeah I was on the fence about what color (mag blue, bronze, diamond dark gunmetal) but decided on red since no one else had it and it fits the color theme of the CTR.

Installed my Type R New Owner Starter Kit:

Hybrid Racing 15th Anniversary Maxim shift knob, OEM carbon fiber trim (that faux carbon was unbearable and I am super enamored with the red weave), Lamin-X foglight film, and OEM clear corners lights (from that dude on eBay that sells them for $40 and six months of shipping). Bonus points, I installed mirrored, amber bulbs in the corners so that when not illuminated, there isn't any amber in the lens.

How do you like the Lamin-X was thinking of going that route instead of JDM...$$ savings. How does it look at night if you don’t mind me asking.

I think it looks great, though I totally understand why people describe it as yellow instead of the OEM gold-ish color.

My only suggestion would be to get a sheet of the film instead of the precut film; they cut it for the size of the hole in the bumper, not for the size of the light. I suppose it's so you can install it without taking the fog light out, but it's super easy to do and you're not stressed out that you've centered the film on the light and that you've centered the light in the hole...

Lamp: Shipping takes FOREVER but you can't beat the price for legit parts. You do have to cut the ears off your bulb sockets so they fit in the new lamp because the ones it comes with won't connect to our harness. https://www.ebay.com/itm/16-17-18-G...2018-Type-R-/162449210932?hash=item25d2ba3e34

Bulb: Just cheap Chinese things, plenty of similar on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Invisible-...arker-Light-/380544464077?hash=item589a37b4cd
Do you have a photo of what and how you trimmed off the bulb socket

Honda-Time today!!
PRL Intercooler is an amazing piece.
Happy customer here!
Install was easy; did it by myself in the garage in less then 2hr<.
If your familiar with the installation of these style of performance components all you need is a set ramps, philiphead driver, trim popper tool, allen tool, 10mm & & 12mm.
My best advice would be watch some of the video’s online; to take your time; be very patient!

It was fun!!

That is a really nice looking peice of kit. Those machined/printed/whatever (what are they, really?) end tanks are the business
