Personally, I like '98. Not only because I have one, but for other reasons. I prefer the front lights of the '98 to the '97, as well as the rear bumper design. The black interior with red stitching is much nicer with a matching shift nob from the '00~'02. Championship White is always the Type-R's signature color (other than Euro Accord Type-R), and just looks better (to me) than yellow/black. I also don't really care for the carbon fiber look for the center console '00~'02.

 

I like the 2000~2001 becuase I love "Black" and the carbon fiber-look, just IMO. CW rockz too!, I dont care much for yellow but shit... its a Type-R and I would roll one with pride no matter the color/year! It just so happenes mine is my favorite car color

 

98 is the best year to me because for one, it has to be Championship White. The front end on the 98 is more aggresive than the previous year. The 97 still looks rad but too much like my 97 Prelude. Secondly, I guess would be the 2000-01 black ones because the gunmetal rims look good with the black. Overall, the R is know (distinguished) for it's white paint and white rims to boot.

 

2001, because I have a 2001.

 

01', the floor mats look more sophisticated, in the earlier cars, the checker was a bit over done, also, the titanium shift knob rules. Last but not least, love the Pheonix Yellow.....

Any year that look like mine ( a 2000) is a cool year. I like the yellow ones alot although i own a black 2000 ITR, yellow is such an exotic color and the ITR in my mind is a rare and exotic car. Plus i like the way yellow ITR's look with black rims and a carbon fiber hood... the true racecar look, i dig that. 8)

 

2000 because I have a 2000

Altho my ITR is Yellow, I do agree that CW is the Type-R's signature color.

 

i would take a jdm 96 r over a usdm 2000 r, and (no offense meant to anyone) but i think white is the only acceptable color, but i like milano red too, but im not too sure if that was a jdm color or not.

 

I like the 98's because I have one, I like the 98 and up headlights better than the 97's. I like the signature white with white wheels look, and the 98's are rarer than the 2000 and 2001's.

 

ack, sorry, dont mind this post.
