2) 74306-S5A-J01 - MOLDING ASSY., R. ROOF - rubber bit that runs along the roof seam. About $25, but I bet I could steal one from any same-gen Civic from a junkyard.

3) I believe there should be a plastic liner or cover behind the passenger rear wheel well, over the muffler. There's currently a gaping hole instead. I was unable to find this part on G1parts, could anyone give me an idea of what it's called?
I think you could fabricate #1 with coroplast for much cheaper than $40. And #3 could also be fabricated, maybe using sheet aluminium if the heat makes you nervous. I agree that you could get #2 at a junkyard, as long as you are sure to differentiate the sedans from the hatches from the coupes and get your identical body type.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
