Most of it was cruise control at 65-75
I was wondering how this went, that's awesome you got it and drove back home safely! There's a bunch of CTRs in the Tampa Bay area but I don't blame you for flying out, each dealer is asking minimum 3k mark up. Looking forward to seeing your pictures. Also, I too want to install a spare in the trunk, where did you get that? Is that Honda OE for the CTR?

Are you quoting the right person for this question? I don't have one.

Yeah, FL in general is terrible for buying the CTR. However, it's very satisfying when one of the dealers calls/emails to "follow up" and I get to tell them the news. They expect to say "Still haven't gotten one yet, huh?" and it ends up being "Oh... and you got it for MSRP? Well, bye!"

Here are a couple shots of the car at my buddy's place after he finished detailing it.

Bought from a dealer. It’s a whole kit. Comes with a jack, wrench, rim, and new rear floor. The tire is separate from the kit.

My Type R is in the shop due to being backed in to. Kind of unrelated but their insurance is paying for my rental which is an extremely boring Corolla. So I hit up my buddy who works for Enterprise and got an upgrade to a Jaguar.

I thought the rear Rally Armor mud flaps were way too low to the ground so I drilled some holes and raised it 1". Looks way better imo.

Man, those are thinner than I thought they'd be. Mine are on the way - let me know how well they do!
