God damn!!

My heart was so set on getting a Champ white just because i wanted to keep it in the Type R always being champ white tradition, but between my wife constantly telling me that the red looks a lot nicer with the car and all these pictures she might be right..

Im leaning more towards red now..

Lol I wanted a championship white CTR as well until my wife said let’s just get a red one since our S2000 was red. Glad I let her choose the color. Deep down inside I’ll probably buy a CW Ctr for myself when it comes around and she can have the red one since she drives it more then I do anyways.

Are you liking the red a lot better than the white now? Im noticing the black and red accents looks better with the red than the white.

Would you pick red all over again if you had the chance?

Attention wise the red is too flashy for me but my wife drives it more than I do and says it’s great for “visual safety” reasons lol. I told her it distracts traffic and is a popo magnet. If I had the chance I would still go CW just because it’s traditional and super low key. Red is a pain to maintain but looks killer in the sun with bronze volks.

God that does look sexy. But yeah I'm a purist, and the purist in me will not let me get another color that isn't Champ White in order to keep up with the R tradition. I love the white too so I'm not just doing it for the tradition. Thanks for your input!

Not sure I’d agree with red being rare? Check out the FK8 registry. Not a huge sample group yet, but seems like red might be the 3rd most produced after black and white. Can’t wait to get more solid numbers to see what production was really like

Oh okay I guess I have only seen 1 red just the other day. Seems like white and black r more common I guess that’s just in my area. Red really makes the car stand out tho.
