Champ white should be paint code NH0 from what I can find.

Can any CW owners confirm that on their door vin tag?

Paint code is NH0, but I guess in Honda’s iN, it is now WZ (not paint code)

Right, I'm wondering if there was an actual change to the paint code to go with the new code in Honda iN.

I've seen pics of CW CTRs next to CW ITRs and it looks like the FK8 CW is a bit different from the DC2 CW. I'm wondering if 17-18 CW is NH0.

If you look at the label on the driver side door jamb, it says NH0.

Could result from paint variance. I've seen milano red DC2's that were dark red and some were bright red. Maybe Honda sources their paint from different suppliers instead of just one?

You know, why didn't the Type R get that "One of a Kind" color like the Green or Orange on the Civic Si or the Curse of the Y49 on the CRX Si or the Phoenix Yellow or Championship White on the ITR? Was it the Blue and I am just missing something?

You need to account for 20 years of environmental exposure

Championship White is exclusive to the Type R right now. It is reserved for higher end Honda models.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but isn't the old saying...."Drive it like you stole it?"
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=drive it like you stole it
"drive it like you stole it
to drive a vehicle faster and more recklessly than it should be driven, acting as if you aren't the one paying for the repairs.

So I guess "Driveitlikeuboughtit" means to drive very cautiously, conservatively, and safely....not really what the Type R is all about, more like a Corolla.

Yes, it's a turn of a phrase. You can imagine I drive however way you wish. Most of the time I'm aiming for driving safely and with economy in mind. I drive by the adage of smoother is faster, which as a by product means good MPG, less wear and tear on components and tons of driving satisfaction.

I can't argue against this...makes too much sense :thumbsup:
