Looks great, but I wouldn't feel right driving with a front end of a type R and none of the rest. It's like rocking fake designer/name brand anything and everyone knows (and everyone that knows will know). Kind of embarrassing.

 

The Si sedan would look so good with this

 

Agreed. Just leave the Si badge and dont put the Type-R badge on

 

Anyone here going to get this Type R bodykit?

Oh this is going to be a very popular kit. It's going to be fun trying to point out which is a real Type R and which isn't.

 

I don't think it will be that hard...

 

Got the link for that thing?

 

Nice but I'd rather have my fog lights though

 

I wouldn't put Type-R logos on a car that isn't a Type-R. I would like to have the Type-R lower grill on my SI. I wouldn't want to lose my fog lights though.

 

never

 

Well said.

 

I feel like the 'mouth' is way too big and has too much mesh going on. It would take a huge intercooler to fill that space in my opinion.

 

That's why it's for the type R...

 

Yeah, only to be bottlenecked. Not to mention, at the power level of the type R you don't need a large intercooler. Plenty of us who are pushing over 500hp at the wheels wouldn't need an intercooler big enough to fill that opening.

Anyhow, performance aside, I think it just looks like the proportions are way off.

 

Ok... Still doesn't change that it was designed for the type R and the size of the type R's intercooler

 

Yes, it was designed for the Type R, no reason to even state that. Saying it's for the size of the Type R's intercooler is debatable. If you look, you can clearly see how much the shroud tapers from the bumper to the intercooler which likely has 60% the surface area of all that mesh, if that. If you like it, cool. If not whatever, I don't because again, the proportions look way off. That is my OPINION, don't like it, too bad you don't have to. Unless you have actual data from wind tunnel testing or something of the like then I'm not going to believe that bumper had to be designed EXACTLY like that.

 

It's gonna look like dog doo on anything except a Type R. Buy a Type R or move on.

 

I love the headlights, can you turn them on? wanna see what it looks like.
with that front body kit, you're removing the fog lights am i right? how do you plan to replace that or you just dont need it entirely??


I have the same sentiments as others, maybe in a few years i would definitely change my front to Type-R grill front body kit - but wouldn't include the TYPE-R logo - just the grill. besides, it looks clean/neat without any badges attached to it.

 

I don't like it but these photos popped up in my social feed.

 

This is what it looks like on a white Civic sedan all painted to match.
