Gearing up for my first born and thought I'd get to protecting the seats some:

1. Front Passenger Seat - Covered in "Dream Automotive" Tailored Blue Cover from U.K. (On Sale At The Moment) I live in the PNW and received it in less then a weeks time. Will purchase a 2nd one for the driver side as I love to hike and would hate to stain or damage those beautiful red buckets...plus if it ever needs service, I can just throw those on instead of relying on the crap plastic that barely covers the seats used by dealerships

2. Rear Passenger Seat - Lusso Gear Car Seat Protector (Durable, Waterproof and Leather Reinforced) Recommended by a fellow CTR family man

3. Baby On Board - Easily Seen From The Corner

Lol My wife and I just ordered the rear seat protector today for her car and my R.

I bought a set of off brand ones (OEDRO, never heard of them) for like 65 bucks shipped back in mid-February. They fit well and I'm happy with them. Currently out of stock and not as cheap right now though.

Oh nice. Is the badging removable? Just wondering. Kinda want the minimalist (if not OEM) look

What does the fuel cap cover do anyway...is it necessary?

My 2018 CTR CW did not come with it...which is not surprising as many owners early on did not receive this part. Thank you in advance .

We’ve confirmed all late MY 2018 delivered cars had them along with all 2019 cars come standard.

I’m actually not sure. I never checked.

I got them from weathertech.com. They also come in tan and gray

Lol phone malfunction
2019 Rallye Red #22518. Couldn’t be happier. Gotta say, it’s scary how this thing builds speed. My wife was like, “punch it” on the way back home. We were in 6th gear doing 70 on the thruway. I said oh shit and she remarked, why is this car slow. I said “babe, we’re doing 100”. She couldn’t believe how quick we hit it and how smooth the car was.

Finally I was able to pick up and install my color matched Cusco Strut Bar for my Type R.

I already have non Honda carbon which as you pointed out doesn’t have that red weave. Just plain carbon.

However this is a Varis. I recently saw all four in one spot (boxes).

Honda and Seibon were very high quality. Down to the hardware. But Honda quality was amazing. I mean seriously.

EVS was alright, lighter for sure. I think it looks too big in spots especially the edges and it messes up the look.

Varis, looks the best. But lowest in quality. It’s wide in the middle but oem on the ends, and has a lip.

If you don’t care for the lip and wide center platform I say go for Seibon.

If you can stomach the Honda Carbon for real it is very high quality, fitment is beyond perfect.

Was the Seibon fitment comparable to the Honda fitment? I'm likely getting the Seibon side vents, and it would be awesome to have it match.

I actually really like the red flecked carbon of the Honda OEM spoiler option, but Seibon is the only company that makes a true carbon fiber side vent for the R, and it wouldn't match.

I have not yet seen the seibon side vents.

Since I believe they’re not full carbon I’m going to guess that the base is oem “like”. Maybe a mm or two larger or off. But overlays depending on how they were done and on what can vary.

Nothing beats oem fitment, and hardware. No matter how cheap you think that plastic is, damn fitment is perfect.

Other than this spoiler, I may just wrap the rest of the things I want in good quality carbon vinyl. Either that or maybe in 10 years there will be good molds.
