Default DC5R Spotting...

I went to my local Honda dealer to pick up some stuff and this kid had a Honda Integra Type R. It was Nighthawk Blue Pearl (I think) with stock silver wheels, red brembo calipers in front, RHD, the whole nine. I did not bother to talk to him about his car as I did not want to make him feel unconfortable/boost his ego but it did look legit. What I did want to ask him (like everyone else) was how he got it over here. I am sure that there will be more sightings of this and hopefully this car does not get stolen. Sorry no pics but just do a search on the web, it will look exactly the same. After seeing it in the flesh, I don't really like it. It looked very tall and the body kit looked tacked on. The did not look flashy, however. When I drove in, I thought it was a FP Type S. Not until the guy at the counter pointed out it was JDM, did I notice. All in all, I prefer my DC2R.

I beleive the blue DC5R's were called "Arctic Blue"?

If i could have a DC5R, it would definately be either that, or CW.

I would still like to see the blue Recaro's in a DC2R though.

SPL has 5, and alex's r32 piece is now in the 10's, i think he might be done installing his full race rollcage, but last time i talked to him he was being lazy

My friend has talked to the guy with the white DC5R, don't know many details, but its real. I'll try to get some more info on the guy and maybe meet up w/him to take some pics

The only other R34 I've seen that isn't SPL's is a yellow one cruising around china town early last year, other than that its basically a whole bunch of R33's.

Anyone who is interested can come and see the one at Coast Acura in Costa Mesa So Cal. It's the only color that matters championship white and it justs sits on the dealership showroom floor to taunt and tease cause you can't have it.
Eventually they're gonna sell it.. don't ya think..
