2023 Civic Type R gets Mugen MF10's and Varis front lip!

Quick update as I've been pretty busy. New lip and wheels for the type r!

[@GaryV209]

Nice! Are you running any camber top mounts up front?

[@shadtography]

Thank you. Yes, I forgot to mention it in the video. I'm running white line front ball joints for negative front camber.

[@csboi]

​@@shadtographywhat reason did you choose Whiteline over the others?

[@shadtography]

@@csboi got it for a good price and was in stock. No particular reason

[@GIZZMOTORSPORTS]

Dang that grey house in the background. What a pain to do roof work.

[@lacoupe5088]

The foggy environment made for some sick photos!

[@s2legend76]

Car looks absolutely fantastic my friend. Loving the build! See you soon!

[@shadtography]

Thank you sir, definitely will see you soon! 💪

[@parthic7743]

The lip make it so much better.

[@chansaechao79]

I'm loving it. That lip kit looks very nice. A used Type-R around my area were around $50k 2 years ago. They've since come down a bit but still out of my price range. I persuaded my son to get a 2019 SI, and he's loving it. He's all the performance mods other than a bigger turbo. He's on H&R lowering springs, so up next will be a nice lip kit.

[@shadtography]

The Si is amazing car for the price. Gas mileage is better too. Hope your son enjoys it!

[@rigues85]

Looks perfect man

[@AL-sf3qy]

Awesome looking fl5

Very nice 👍🏽

[@AsianAnimeRuLe]

ick Mugen wheels! in my area it's pretty much all TE37 Ganging or Advan Premiums/TC04s, nice to see something different!

[@bysm50]

damn nice meaty tire setup are the best!!!

[@jorgearellano6923]

Sick !!!!

[@JG-nw3ub]

Looks great! Did you adjust for more negative camber in the front?

[@dannyfl5r]

Looks very clean! Good taste! What are you running for suspensions? Are you using any aftermarket camber kits? Thank you!

[@shadtography]

Thank you! Swift fk8 lowering springs with whiteline front lower ball joints!

[@jaysonantolin8456]

Subscribed! How much is the ground clearance now that varis front lip?? I know stock is about 7 inches

[@wipedsol8038]

Remember having a greddy carbon lip on my 10th gen hatch it broke cuz something was on the road on the freeway kinda was following the car in front closely so it didn’t give me a lot of time to realize. Learned from that lol Don’t know what lip to run on my Fl5 but this one does look good

[@blck04gt]

Looks amazing. Still running Swift springs?

[@shadtography]

Thank you. Yes sir.

[@anjeloeltonyap3360]

Are you on lowering springs or coilovers? Whats your wheels and tires specs? No rubbing? Thanks in advance.

[@cjsnylons]

Love that front lip. I'm able to get a new Type R at MSRP, would you strongly recommend that or thoughts on any other car for $45k?

[@shadtography]

Get it and don't look back. No other car will be as special, fun and reliable for the price.

[@cjsnylons]

@@shadtography Thanks for the feedback. Should be here next month.

[@scottt.4596]

Looks great! Just curious, is the Varis logo pre-installed? If yes, is it possible to remove the badge and still have a clean smooth lip?

[@shadtography]

Varis decal comes separate. The lip has a seem to have the logo installed. So if the logo isn't installed, it will look like something is missing lol.

[@scottt.4596]

Thanks for the feedback, @@shadtography Appreciate it 🍻

[@shadtography]

@@scottt.4596 no problem!

[@IJones]

At least 35% ceramic tints and Quarter Panel Rear Side Window Louvers is all. Nice color!

[@shadtography]

I do want to keep this car with no tint just so I can see the seats all the time but let's see. 35% ceramic does sound nice!

[@csboi]

Louvers? I've never in my life seen someone recommend that. What are they for actually?

[@treys9123]

Love the lip, not the price. Tires are beefy!!

[@hybridstiger]

$2000 for the lip is a bit out of my budget. Looks awesome nonetheless.

[@agcrxturbo9577]

Looks great 👌🏽👌🏽. Any rubbing with those tires? Tire specs?

[@shadtography]

285/35 Michelin as4, no rubbing

[@agcrxturbo9577]

@@shadtography wheel offset? My concern would be rubbing on track days under hard cornering. Thanks.

[@shadtography]

@@agcrxturbo9577 +45. If you're tracking, I recommend 265/35/18. It will save you in weight and won't hurt performance

[@agcrxturbo9577]

@@shadtography thanks brother. 👌🏽👍🏽

[@agcrxturbo9577]

@@shadtography forgot to ask, with the 285 tire, how does the steering feel, same or numb? Also, do you know how much camber you’re running? I’m about to try to put mine at about -1.5º front and want to know if it’ll clear. Thanks.

[@Rj-bc8sn]

Dude I’m looking for one of these but can’t find anything 3-7k over msrp. What did you pay if you don’t mind me asking

[@shadtography]

5k over

[@anassyazwi1779]

agreed with the choice of the front lip. That price though

[@shadtography]

Price is worth it for the quality, in my opinion!

[@anassyazwi1779]

@@shadtography couldn't agree more. The workmanship is superb. I wonder if Varis would release one made from FRP? Scraping those carbon lip would be a pain.

[@213PURPLEYAM]

The stock oem wheels looks better

[@vote4anh17]

MF10 size & offset? Tires? Are you running springs? Thank you for sharing!❤

[@shadtography]

There's only one set of mf10 compatible with the type r. 18x9.5 +45, tires are 285/35. Swift fk8 springs

[@ctecproductions]

​@@shadtography would love these wheels as well. What is a good price used for these in your opinion or the price you paid if you don't mind sharing?

[@shadtography]

@@ctecproductions retail pricing of the wheels would be around $4500 + center caps, lug nuts. Used sets of you're lucky can be found for $3500-$4200 with tires

[@ctecproductions]

@@shadtographyGood to know. Thanks for this information! Appreciate the reply.

[@shadtography]

@@ctecproductions no worries, good luck with your fl5 build!

[@fernplaying]

Bro, what’s the exact name of that front lip, I wanna put it on my FE too.

[@shadtography]

Varis

[@thiefnrt7432]

WHAT SIDE SKIRTS ARE THOSE!!!

[@shadtography]

They are OEM type r. Comes with the car.

[@soothingbabylullabiesandwh9581]

285/30/18?

[@HatefulziinPR]

Are you still running the 20mm spacers ?

[@shadtography]

Negative. Spacers were only on with the stock wheels.

[@HatefulziinPR]

@@shadtography copy that, thank you for the reply

[@LateNightDateNight]

@@shadtographyWhat did you think of running spacers on the stock rims, any reason not to run it? Thinking of getting some for my FL5, I’ve got the OEM Forged wheels but haven’t used spacers before.

[@shadtography]

@@LateNightDateNight take a look at my other video, I had spacers on the stock wheels and they looked great. Make sure the spacers are hubcentric. I recommend the H&R ones.

[@user-uw4xp7cq3q]

Rubbing with advan in front or rear?

[@shadtography]

Front. Very slight with the camber kit but I didn't want to risk it. Took them off and still have them sitting around.

[@Marc-ty5sz]

why is the 265 rubbing and the 285 not rubbing?

[@shadtography]

40 series sidewall that are r compounds vs 35 series sidewall that are all seasons

[@Marc-ty5sz]

@@shadtography ah ok thanks
