I wonder why didn't you wait for the 2020 refresh? Most probably that's going to be better looking.
Idk, only major thing I see different for 2020 is going to be the fake vents. Plus, I love the 2017-19 Type R looks anyways

Flew from Salt Lake City to Cleveland... Drove the car back a southern route since it was winter and I feared for my life with the summer tires. Drove Cleveland -> Columbus -> Indianapolis -> St. Louis -> Oklahoma City -> Amarillo -> Albuquerque -> Salt Lake City

2200 miles, drove it in 2 days (stayed one night in Oklahoma City). Sold the car a month later.

That’s awesome, but all that trouble to just sell it!? Is there more to this story?

I found a used (1300 mi) 2019 CW in Omaha, NE at a Porsche dealer. Flew in from Atlanta, GA one morning, drove to Des Moines, IA to pick up a set of NSX/RE71 from the original owner, then headed to ATL. Arrived home less than 18 hours later after driving through the night (1000 miles).

The seats were fine, and the ride was smooth in Comfort mode.

I lucked up. I was figuring more than likely that I would have to travel to get a CTR at a good price. But the dealership that sold me my daily driver '19 Civic hatchback, called and told me they had a RR Type R coming in. Got it for under MSRP. I had to drive 65 miles one way.
