On a more serious note, I would caution against dark tint on the front windows. As a cycle commuter, I come upon a lot of people with dark tint and since I can't establish eye contact, I can never really tell if they're going to let off the brake and drive right into me. Please, for the sake of those around you, lighten it up a bit.

Sven7, I have $700 into the rocker panel repair and the the paint combined. Most civics in Wisconsin are pretty rusty. This one was surprisingly good compared to most. The underside is great because they protected it very early on with some type of spray
