CBP is awesome. i saw a post yesterday where someone described it as the "most unwanted color".....love the way they put that. I like having the least popular color of a rare mass production car(compared to the overall number of Civics out there). Makes it just that much more exclusive....

That may have been me, but it's really the color I want to buy. Love how it looks when its been ceramic coated especially after looking at all the pics here. I am kind of like you. I currently drive an 8th Gen Redline Orange Pearl Si Sedan and got it because I liked that it was only on the Si that year and felt it was rare. My second choice for the Si back then was CBP. There were times over the past few years I'd see pics of a clean CBP Si on the 8thcivic.com forums and wished I got the CBP. That's why I want a CBP CTR this time around.

Great pic. Love how the smoke both contrasts and blends with the cloud cover. Interesting looking wheels.....

I miss my CW CTR (son totaled it 10 OCT 2018) but the CBP looks great after I did the paint correction and ceramic coated it. The CBP had so many swirls and scratches from improper washing the dealership did and from sitting on the showroom floor. I am really happy with it but given the choice, I would have bought another CW.

yes sir...the paint correction is the most important part. Got to polish the shit out of the paint before applying a simi-perminate sheet of glass to protect the freshly polished paint!!! All we do now, is wash and dry and the polished paint will pop out again and everytime! Ceramic coating my car was the best $$ I've ever spent on a car!! Call me crazy

Decide not to sell? I didn’t want to question your judgement, but the first CTR to ever come to the US will never leave my stable. I’ll get something else when this is paid off, but never selling this thing. Just too good.

Get an intercooler & KTuner and you won’t beleive how good it gets.

Best wash method to keep that ceramic looking good?

Add another hydrophobic layer such as Gtechniq EXOV4. Then use a leaf blower to get all the water off. I touch the paint as little as possible.
