Brand Tone

Enthusiast-focused, Passionate, Community-Oriented, Direct, Informative/Helpful, Casual and Trendy

Brand Values

• •Customer Focus
• •Quality (aspired/stated)
• •Community Engagement
• •Performance & Aesthetics
• •Specialization/Expertise

Best Practices

• •Know Your Audience – Speak Their Language: Use terminology, slang (appropriately), and references that resonate with Honda/Acura DC5 enthusiasts (e.g., "K-series," "VTEC," "JDM," model years). Avoid overly corporate or generic language.
• •Emphasize Passion and Community: Frame copy around the shared passion for these cars. Encourage interaction, user-generated content, and a sense of belonging to the "association." Use inclusive language ("we," "us," "our community").
• •Be Direct and Benefit-Oriented with Products: When talking about products, clearly state what they are, their benefits (e.g., "super durable and flexible," "perfect fitment," "sleek, lasting finish"), and how they improve the car (aesthetics, performance). Include clear calls to action.
• •Maintain an Enthusiastic yet Authoritative Voice: While casual and passionate, ensure copy also reflects expertise, especially when discussing technical aspects or product quality. The mention of "Honda Technicians with a Minimum of 5 Years experience" on their YouTube is a good foundation.
• •Adapt Tone Slightly for Platform, Not Personality: The core personality (passionate, community-focused enthusiast) should remain. However, the tone can be more visual and hashtag-heavy on Instagram/TikTok, slightly more detailed on the website, and more instructional on YouTube, without losing the core brand voice. For instance, TikToks can be short, punchy, and use trending elements, while website descriptions can be more descriptive.

Social Perception

Positive Community Hub (among active followers), Source for Specific Parts, Mixed Reputation Regarding Product Quality & Customer Service (improving quality)
