With this kind of wrap, how would you say it cleans up when washing as oppose to the OEM black gloss finish...easier to clean w/o water-spots...does it scratch?
Really easy to clean, and generally hides dirt way better anyways (can't really tell when it's dirty). I'm sure it will scratch, but as far as micro scratches/swirls like the factory spoiler or other shiny plastic trim on the car, no this doesn't show anything like that. I have this same wrap on my window trim, and everything is holding up really well.

If you're on the stock exhaust, its not that loud, so they won't hear you coming. The design and look of the CTR isn't too different from a normal Civic; this is amplified at night. I know when I'm following something like a Civic Sport Hatch from behind at night it can be somewhat difficult to tell CTR from not.

Looks like you're going for stealth mode. I like it!
What are you doing to plug/hide the holes where the spoiler was?
Going stealth mode to avoid unwanted attention. Plugged the holes with white Gorilla tape. May plasti-dip over it if it collects too much dusts.

Most people remove the civic right off like they are embarrassed by it. Love you left it on and removed the type R... you going sleeper mode? Making it like a sport touring? Or is wing going back on? Ive seen several people cover the H emblem on back. Reason?
I'm going stealth mode to make it look like a regular hatch to draw less attention. Wing is permanently removed for now. I've removed the front and back R badges because I don't want people to steal them. The rear H was covered up for the same reason so I plasti-dipped it instead of removing it by breaking the pegs.

The final stage will involve pin-striping (black) over the red on the wheels and aero package. Did one wheel already.

Did you use a high pass filter or crossover on the tweeters, or just hook them straight to the original wiring?
I used the included crossover that came with the tweeters shown here:

Cut the OEM plug off and connected to the wires with butt connectors rather than the splices shown in this photo:

I'm not sure about this though. There's attracting attention because it's good, there's attracting attention because it's bad, there's also attracting attention because it's interesting.
