Nice what have you done to your car?
I bought it as my work commuter/daily. I have a Fiesta ST that I play around with. But with the CRZ I ended up really liking it and wanting to make it nicer. Most of what I've done to it was OEM parts to make like new.

Window tint
Replaced interior silver trim, steering wheel trim and cruise button
Replaced shift knob and redline goods shift boot
center arm rest replaced (another japan find)
Driver door handle (not installed yet)
Serpentine belt, transmission fluid, brake fluid, clutch fluid, coolant flush, spark plugs
Replaced both fender liners and under tray, replaced any missing screws/clips
all weather mats
tie rod ends
sway bar end links
front and rear struts/shocks (koni orange) I tried TEIN springs but too low and rubbing on my driveway so replaced with new OEM springs
rear torsion beam (imported that damn thing straight from Japan)
rear bearing hub assemblies (honestly didnt even need them but they were coming off for the torsion beam so just did them)
Cut battery tray and put in a larger AGM battery

May 1st its getting the rear hatch hinges replaced and repainted at a good body shop. There is rust starting where they meet the body. Having rear bumper repainted then too as it was a bit scratched worn when I bought the car used.

I basically been restoring it. Did all the work myself minus the brake, clutch and coolant fluids. Whereas my Ford Fiesta I am tuning, turbo, exhaust and all that.

Ohh very nice. What color is the wrap? Do you feel a difference with that sway bar? The undertray does it get in the way bad when doing an oil change?

How did you know that you need to replace your clutch?
A nice easy to find Yellow.

The swaybar is easily the second most noticible improvement you can do after a tire upgrade.

And the undertray is easy to work with, even makes spotting when a fastener has been missed even easier. The new tray out there looks to have a smaller. Oil change panel on it.

Nice, the rear wiper delete I thought about that. Is it worth it? And I'm looking Into getting a intake how is your? Do you recommend it? Plus I have a mugen rear spoiler, I love it. I highly recommend the spoiler. It adds a whole new look to it.
I picked the the Takeda because it looked OEM when installed. It does have a little bump in horsepower. LOL
It also makes the engine sound better. Might not need to upgrade the exhaust. But, most likely will upgrade to a Revell or AEM.
Forgot to mention. Removing the rear wiper was a plus for me. I hardly used it and it looks much better.
