its kinda more a type-s than a CR you are making

if you do the headlights you should clear out the old ones I reckon you could sell them on for a decent price
The only difference between the type S and CR is the hardtop and toneau cover. I don't think the hardtop and toneau cover make the CR a CR. The suspension and aero are what make it a CR. Oct can't come soon enough. I may buy the parts earlier in anticipation.

the CR is postioned between the Type R and Type S according to Shigeru Uehara.

You Tube vid

1:09 in the video.

i would love to find the suspension specs on the Type S, i wouldn't be surprised if it is the same as the CR. it would be nice to verify.

Quick question from the tire guys. Will a 255 tire fit on this rear wheel? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseU...=All&sort=Brand

I did the CR front end. It is really nice and looks great, also you cant go wrong with factory honda parts that you know will fit the first time.

DONT FORGET.

If you do the AP2 headlight you need AP2 Balasts for the HID's. Also the AP2 bumpers use a differant tow hook cover than the AP1. And if you want to keep the AP1 fender liners and front undertray you have to zip tie them up cause they do not match the AP2 bumper. The Front bumper you buy from Honda does not have a grill in it and you have to buy one for the AP2. The lip will come painted, so will the tow hook cover but the bumpers come in primer. You can use the stock trunk but you have to cut large holes in it to put the wing on and then you have to get these little side rubber pieces to keep it from shaking real bad. If there is anything else I can think I will post it up.
That sucks -- I thought they were just using the Modulo suspension? That was 5-way adjustable in the rear (not adjustable in the front).

Also, if you convert the front bumper, Hardtopguy has a fender liner kit they sell that allows you to use stock fender liners and have everything fully covered, without using zip ties.

+45 is going to be close...I'd say it's a risk.

If it is the price that's the concern, pick up some used AP2 rims. Otherwise the TRMotorsport F3 is a good choice that's the same size and offset as stock.

Or you get some RPF1s for about the same price....., roll the fenders, play with the alignment and you're all set.

It's the weight that I'm looking at.
