I don't have one of my own, although I'd like to, but I did see a CW one this past Saturday afternoon on Wilson Mills Rd. (between 306 and Auburn Rd.) headed west towards the Mayfield Heights area.

No, just saw it on IG. It's from New Jersey.
Oh damn, well, to each their own I guess. I'll flag him or her down if I see it on the road!

I had a friend in high school that painted his Integra chameleon orange and green. That pic reminds me of it.

98 Civic Coupe, 2017 CW CTR #1869
I'm in Los Angeles and I've seen 2 only a black one in Marina Del Rey by where I work coming out of Costco and a blue one at a Target on Century Blvd. I went to Auto Enthusiast Day in Anaheim Saturday and I was so surprised to be the only CTR there! Aside from the one that aFe Power was showcasing.
I think I've seen the black one too. It's parked at Jim n Jacks Body shop on Grand and Sepulveda in El Segundo. I asked one of the workers and they said its the managers R. This is the official body shop for airport marina honda and is where the paper plates were from. That's the only one I've seen in the wild.

I haven't seen anything in the wild in the Minneapolis area, but I have heard from others another black one was at a recent cars and coffee. Every day is an adventure. From thumbs up, to folks chasing me down on the freeway to gawkers stopping to look at in the parking lot.

And many just follow me, back-left in my blind spot, for miles...

I was told by a friend that was works for honda that "there will be a type r grand touring with sunroof" that is coming. He also said that it will not be badged so maybe we will see more type r's in the road when that time comes.
I wish they made a grand touring type with 10speed auto and sedan body. Does not need to be that powerful, maybe detuned abit for efficiency. Maybe optional AWD.

This are rumours. However the AWD is tempting but i will never turn to the darkside.

I'd gladly go for an AWD CTR. Granted that goes against what a Type-R stands for (increased weight), but then again, they did go Turbo. Gotta keep up with the competition somehow as a FWD drivetrain is disadvantaged vs. AWD for a high performance car.

I'll be surprised if we DON'T see an Acura that does just this-
