Awesome! We're still slowly breaking it in. Just got its first bath today. We wouldn't let them wash it at the dealership.

Ours arrived sooner than we expected, but we had mods on order for it already. We had it reserved a few weeks ago, before it arrived off the ship. They emailed us while we were in Switzerland to let us know it was waiting for us and that they wouldn't PDI it until we got there to inspect as requested. They wouldn't even sit in her so I could be the first.

We told them up front, "No dealer stickers, no drilling, no wash or NO DEAL"

Mine arrived about 2 weeks earlier then expected. We had to wait about 3 months for it to be built and brought over, probably because of the timing with the type R release. I ordered parts for mine the day after we picked it up. Did the PRL stage 1 intake kit, and I'm waiting to see what Honda offers in the way of factory performance upgrades.

Mine has a June build date. Don't remember the exact date at the moment, but I think it was towards the end of the month. I didn't think mine was going to arrive for at least another month lol

It says it on the keychain :giggle:

Only keychains I use anymore. Supposed to be like a replica door-pull strap. I've even looked into getting some custom done.

We've also just noticed after posting the debadging pics, that the rear H is very crooked. It'll be replaced with the Red Type-R H Badge soon anyway.

@Flightmaster127 you might want to give yours the once over again...lol We noticed in some of our friend's pics that his was crooked also before being replaced

We're probably doing the same thing later this year. These things are pretty damn nice. Congrats!
