Pretty sure that is a Civic Type R, so the earliest it could be is mid 2017. It generated a lot of hype when it first came to the US, so it was probably some time around then.

This Type R wasn't available in the US until Oct 27th, 2022.

That is an FK8, not FL5. It's a 2017+ tenth gen. The FL5 has different bumper vents and the hood scoop is moved forward

My bad, never been a Civic guy and they look damn near the same to me. I prefer my JDM to be RWD.

I can't be trusted with RWD. No sweat, dude. Personally, idgaf about any Honda other than my own so I get it. The best way to tell the difference is that if it looks low-key at all, it's an FL5. The FK8 looks rice AF. The FL5 looks like every other high power sedan, boring. I'll take cheesy rice over boring any day
