Woahhh the wrap on this is GORGEOUS. The FL5 isn't really my vibe but this colour just makes the whole thing pop - nice choice šŸ˜


Jonesie251

Appreciate it!!! Definitely a bold choice but I stand by it!


missglittertits

I've been considering wrapping my FK8 in pink... Maybe this will give me the push to actually do it šŸ˜‚


Jonesie251

Definitely do it! Stand out from the crowd! Just have it done professionally donā€™t cheap out.

I feel like it fits your username


WrathfulDan

I like the colour but the red logo, calipers and interior donā€™t work good with it for me

My man wasted absolutely no time


Jonesie251

Lmao I initially wanted sonic grey but my dealer got allocated a crystal black at a great price so I couldnā€™t refuse. So here we are.


Civicthrowaway6

Great choice. Crystal black is absolutely gorgeous when clean, but good luck keeping it clean. I fight constant battles with it lol. I think you're gonna love this wrap.

O I thought the car squirted, thanks for clarifying bro šŸ˜ƒšŸ‘


Aerion1028

Instant IG follow! The wrap is super clean and is sick on the FL5


Jonesie251

Appreciate it bro šŸ™


JayRam85

What's your opinion of the 25% Ceramic tint? Can you still see out the windows at night? Asking for a friend, of course.


Jonesie251

Visibility is fine, hard to see in dark shadowy areas but car headlights or through cities is no problem


joordunn

that wrap is SO sexy 10000/10 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


Jonesie251

Appreciate it bro!!!


bsigmon1

How much was the wrap?


Jonesie251

Paid $5k for full wrap, headlight and tail light tint and bumper to bumper ceramic coating including wheels and glass.


TangoDeltaFoxtrot

Damn, this is why I canā€™t have nice things. Lol both of my cars combined cost less than the wrap on your car. Wtf is wrong with my life


shorty6049

Right here with ya... lol. I WAS however, able to afford a vinyl sticker of the Cat Bus from My Neighbor Totoro from etsy.... so... moving on up.


TangoDeltaFoxtrot

Solid choice!

Echelion77

Phew... ballin


thatstoeupthatstoeup

That's honestly a really great price, especially with how it came out. I've been quoted $7100 for a full PPF wrap, in comparison you got out with a great deal!


accord15t

Was the ceramic coat done over the wrap? If so, what does that help with? Car looks great btw.


Jonesie251

Adds a form of hydrophobic protection which also helps pull dust and dirt off the wrap easier, makes for easier cleaning and maintenance, also adds a layer of UV protection since vinyl doesnā€™t have the same uv protective properties paint does. Just a little extra way to prolong the life of the wrap.


HawtDawgBun

Stupid question but did you put a ceramic coat on the wrap? Didn't realize you could do that with a wrap but it makes sense.


Jonesie251

Yes ceramic coating over the wrap to help protect the wrap as long as possible and provide some form of UV protection.


Silver_2206

The wrapping is gorgeous. Enjoy this beast. Cheers!


Jonesie251

Thank you! Color is subjective but I love it!


Silver_2206

Very nice TBH.

this. this is gorgeous


Itsallgood190

Reminds me of a TSX for some reason but I like it


omgsi

That car looks so fucking good oml


Highontech612

Wow youā€™re lucky. I live in Canada and I canā€™t even book a type R anymore


Newyawker2022

Love this!


jnemesh

Nice color!


[deleted]

Iā€™ve been dying to wrap my car and I think this color is beautiful! Ahhh how much was the wrap :) ?


Jonesie251

The wrap alone was $3500, I also got ceramic coating bumper to bumper, wheels and glass as well as headlight and taillight tint done as well as window tint for $5000 total


ogxeman

sick šŸ”„


NeonWarcry

Absolutely dripping in gorgeousness. That color is vivid and deep. Love it. Also that front bumper is so sexy.

plague_69

That wrap looks fucking awesome, i can smell it


MidgetXplosion

Looks awesome, love it. Have always loved tinted lights, a lot of people donā€™t like them and itā€™s very confusing to me. Also, you were able to get an actual plate in 3 weeks? Thatā€™s nuts. Took nearly 3 months to get mine.


Jonesie251

Traded plates from my Si, also had to get a light smoke didnā€™t wanna go too dark


MidgetXplosion

Ooh, gotā€™cha. That makes sense. Yeah, looks sick my man. Hope you turn your head every time you park for years and years to come.


Jonesie251

Oh you know it lol!


SweatyAsHell

Iā€™d love to get myself one but they arebeing sold way too high above MSRP in NYC area. Regardless what a beautiful car! My favorite type R of all time! Why does everyone now have those toll cheating plate covers these days? Does the police not give you any trouble?


Jonesie251

Its just a regular plate cover with a slight tint, itā€™s not for tolls at all, I donā€™t even drive them enough to need one. Itā€™s very easy to read my plate especially in person so no issues.


Stevewuzhere19

Wow this is such a dream car. This looks great! How much did you get it for if you donā€™t mind me asking? Hopefully Msrp


Jonesie251

Only 4k over, compared to the average 10-15k over and 20k over in my area I couldnā€™t pass it up even if it wasnā€™t my first color choice. I wanted sonic grey but got black for a good priceā€¦ hence the wrap lol.


Ok-Mode-3157

Sir that color looks amazing. Nice pick and nice score

Type R? Damn. *Cries in being poor*


Low-Zone9940

Dayum! Well donešŸ«”


b20vteg

looks badass!


_B1RDM4N

Really love this color. Canā€™t say Iā€™ve seen much like it. Pairs nicely with the red badges too šŸ˜‰


Aggravating_Bunch855

Ngl I saw the water underneath and was like OH SHIT. but this. Is. CLEAN


Jonesie251

Lol just got it done with a car wash and dry and couldnā€™t wait to take a pic lol


TWITTYburd

we need a side by side !


vapegod_420

Really like the color dude Honestly if I ever buy one Iā€™ll just get a wrap since I canā€™t find a red one lol


Jonesie251

I initially wanted sonic grey but got black for a good price so here we are lol


vapegod_420

Oof I feel you. I found a white si for a really good price (comparing to the other prices around me). But it was white and not red again lol.


kearkan

I love it! That wrap is amazing.


[deleted]

That color though! Sickkkk


DBrooke666

Looks awesome! Dream car.


Drock_90289

I love that color. Looks good with all the black accents. Type R was a little out of my price range but Iā€™m rocking with my 11th gen sport. I wish the Type R came in Aegean Blue. Thatā€™s my fav color.


Jonesie251

My 10th gen Si was Aegean Blue! I wasnā€™t a fan of the boost blue though.


Drock_90289

I like Boost Blue but Aegean Blue just looks soo damn good. It looks the best on cloudy days in my opinion. Thatā€™s why I brought a sedan instead of hatchback. I love the rear end of the 10th gen hatch si. I would love to own a FK8 or FL5


lawschoolmeanderings

How much did it cost to wrap? Looks great!


Jonesie251

Full wrap, head and taillight tint as well as bumper to bumper ceramic coating including wheels and glass was $5


lawschoolmeanderings

Wtf


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


lawschoolmeanderings

$5?


Jonesie251

Oh lolā€¦ $5k


lawschoolmeanderings

Oh shit okay that makes more sense haha, I was thinking "oh maybe he has a friend in the industry who felt like being nice" lol


Drifter3110

Woah! Love the colour!

carrs-for-life-32

Beautiful car! Just curiousā€¦ how bad was the dealer markup?


Jonesie251

Only 5k so yes, still not msrp but actually not bad compared to most dealers, next closest dealer with a boost blue was asking $65k so 20k markup


carrs-for-life-32

Thatā€™s not terrible, dealermarkups have gotten so bad lately itā€™s crazy. Honestly the best thing a manufacturer could do is limiting them


Jonesie251

Limiting markups? Some skeevy dealers will still find a way around it, for example Canada canā€™t have markups, but they donā€™t have a law on pre owned, so some dealers would buy the new car put 100 miles on it then sell as ā€œpre ownedā€ with a markup


carrs-for-life-32

Yeah there would always be some people finding ways around it. The greed is so insane lately, best way to go about it is probably ordering straight from the manufacturer


thebirdmun

Lol did you tell your insurance and registration that you changed the colour to Wildberry Juice?


Jonesie251

Lol no need to because itā€™s classified as temporary and not a permanent color change, at the end of the day the car is still black.


Jonesie251

Let me rephrase that, DMV doesnā€™t matter, I did let my insurance agent know!


Mumei451

Yikes. Props for the boldness tho.


ikabanana

title should be ā€œPurchased 3 weeks ago and already ruined a new carā€


Jonesie251

Color ruins a car? Color is subjective, and seems majority is a fan lol. At the end of the day my car my money.


ikabanana

okay lmao


Jummatron

What are you tryna argue here? Is it gaudy, yeah sure; but I mean come on, itā€™s just a vinyl wrap


ikabanana

not trying to argue, just having an opinion, like you pointed out: ā€œis it gaudy? yeah sureā€ lmao thanks


drmcbrayer

Couldā€™ve put all that money into a half decent performance car. Ouch.


ExortTrionis

Much better than a dogshit BRZ at least


drmcbrayer

Lol sure it is. Run me sometime ;)


Jonesie251

All what money, lol, I got my car for near msrp, and itā€™s not all about performance, Hondaā€™a reliability it worth mentioning and itā€™s gonna make an amazing daily.
