It truly is a shame that world changing events are the only thing that can get greedy folk to see the light. I bought mine in January and the dealership was sensible. I got mine at MSRP. They at least recognized that they had to make a sale. In the past week, I've been getting calls from...

That's exactly why I did a PPF and Ceramic Coat first. Quite painful on the wallet and I'm still recovering, however, it's worth it! I only did the PPF on the front end. My detailer highly recommended that I do a PPF on the wing, however, I can't do it atm. Good ole Honda.. and their bleh...

Well mine should be coming... but I only placed the order a few weeks ago. MECHAGZ for a FK8 (Mecha Godzilla). The color (in my head) seemed close enough to MechaGodzilla and I've always liked the character. I already knew Godzila was taken (by a GT-R).

Actually I am interested in getting an IC. Oh and an Eventuri... something about that intake really caught my eye. But that's it! :fingerscrossed: @hpbyhermann very nice FK8 you got there!

I like the way you think.. :) I really do! So far.. I share ya'll sentiments. Technically I haven't even driven the car yet. I'm still in the break in period. I can't wait to hear VTEC once more! I'm going to be using the stock rims so I am definitely going to be switching out the tires...

That really does seem the case. I not gonna track the car. Maybe some spirited driving on occasion but really that's it. Man I guess I am in mid life crisis..

Good Morning! I'm looking for advice/experience on things that the TypeR needs. I daily drive mine about 60 miles a day in LA County. I'm not really looking for performance upgrades (although I can't say that I'm not against smooth sounds) but essentially things that you veterans feel provide...

is CW not as popular as it once was? Or are there just a lot of them?

Is it that bad to place it in the middle? I have mine sorta like this image below... I grabbed the image from sly brackets.. :) nm.. I just switched it and placed it on the corner (passenger side). It looks nicer that way anyway.. ^_^

Yup.. I heard that one too. But I ended up getting my color and the car MSRP. I think I've been getting emails and texts from multiple dealers for the past few days. I'm guessing that they're realizing that it's not quite as easy to sell Type Rs at even 1k above MSRP especially now that most...

Well yeah but TilleR is requesting info for a 2020 Civic Type R at MSRP. Chances are at least during the initial 2020 rollout, the 2020s will have a markup and the 2019s will have more wiggle room as far as negotiating... The place that I bought my FK8 still had the sticker at +15k over MSRP...

Well they haven't even released the MSRP on the 2020 model have they? I can tell you from my experiences last week, the sales people that I interacted with in Cali were practically salivating at the thought of the 2020s. Not one of them had any inkling of selling at MSRP. But I truly hope...

Apologies if I'm bringing back a "dead" thread so to speak. But I'm trying to figure out if this is a viable option. I'm okay with putting the license plate to where the tow hook typically is and all but I would prefer to place the license plate in the center. I'm just not a fan of drilling...

I spoke to Salpi first after I reached out requesting more info. I had the same reaction when I walked in myself (about the sticker price). That and all the type Rs (minus the CW which apparently is owned by the owner of the dealership) has no accessories on it. They kept it pretty simple...

For those in Cali, there is hope. I was able to get a 2019 SGP FK8 at MSRP at Honda of Pasadena. I have no clue if it's just because they liked me or what.. but the deal did happen. They have a Blue and a Black at the dealership. I had a great experience working with Mike, Salpi, and Benito...

Imho, I don't think so. 2020 CTR is definitely going to have a markup. I think right now is the best time to purchase a 2019 Type R. You could take a gamble and wait a few months but I don't know if they will go down further.

I live in Cali and I do a daily commute. I already know the route that I would take to get home, when to change lanes, etc etc. Meh.. I'm not gonna worry about it anymore. Saves me about what.. 3 to 5k on rims and new tires?

That's a really good point. Thank you! In the grand scheme of things, it is the vocal minority (not saying that they are incorrect), that has issues with the rims. I spoke to a dealer rep a few months ago and he was telling me that he has an FK8 himself and that he has never had any issues...

I completely agree. I share the same opinion that many of you do. I'm not really a fan of all the "bells and whistles". What appeals to me the most about the FK8 is the drive. I hear all about how much fun it is from friends ,and those of you who have the car. I'm currently leasing a 2019...

Any thoughts on how greedy some dealerships will be for the 2020 FK8? 8k? 10k? Specifcally Cali..?
