Just got my FL5 and I absolutely love it. Can’t test or get an ITS in Australia but I would be curious to try it. I don’t think the heated seats and lack of wang are for me though.
I prefer the headlights and grille of the Type S, but wish the front bumper had more painted area rather than a floating lower bar. I also think the grille of the Type S is incredibly stupid-looking, looking like a stretched-out elastic bed net.
The flares of the Type R are preferable. The Type S flares look bolt-on, which is a bad design choice.
I prefer the side profile of the Type S, although I’m not a fan of the roofline resolution of either.
The rear of the Type S is less boy-racer; I don’t like wings on street cars unless it’s something over-the-top like an early '00s D1GP replica. But the license plate position and overall cleanliness of the Type R’s rear would make a wing delete worthwhile.
The CTR with a rear wing delete and the springs/dampers from a Type S would be preferable if I had to take one or the other, but honestly, I’d rather build an EJ Civic “Type R.”
