for me, best sounding engines are in this order V10, V12, inline 5, inline 6, v8, inline 3, v6 and inline 4 dead last.

Does anyone have strong thoughts or knowledge on ceramic coatings? I'm trying to educate myself as much as possible so my expectations are realistic and I understand the benefits. I'm basically looking at this like a stronger wax. Any thoughts on wheel coverage or windshield coverage?

Strong thoughts? No. But my mechanic, who I've known for many years, recommended PPF over ceramic coating; he believes that it lasts longer and is more effective. Take that as you will!

ceramic coating cost over a grand. Its great if you live in a apartment and can't hand wash regularly but if you wash your car regularly and wax least once a year you don't need it imo. If you're not planning to keep your car 10+ years wouldn't bother with ppf or ceramic. Its money you'll never get back.

Thoughts on coloring the side skits similar to a veloster N?

type r - fix.jpg
It's bound to be done when the car releases, but, I think that in it coming "redless" from the factory says enough about the direction Honda is going with this new generation.

Bar the mirrors, I take the stance that the red accents are a thing of the past (FK8) generation. Gloss black is in.
