Rep Power: 0 Exterior rubber trim pieces 2001 civic?
I have a 2001 Civic that's lived its entire life outdoors in climate where summer it gets to 80s/90s and winter below zero on a regular basis. This has taken a big toll on the rubber trim pieces. Everything is still sealed, but the trim is starting to look ratty/ugly even though the car only has 115k miles on it. Does anyone know if I can take this into a shop and have the pieces replaced? Would it be worth it to have them replace all of it? Or just do it piece by piece?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

You can get them through the dealers. Here's some catalog links:

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/
This might be close to you: http://www.bkhondaparts.com/
Worth it? That's up to you.
I'd DIY it, but I do it for a living.

Which parts in particular? Exterior windowsills, many people opt for a refurbishing, of sorts, by respraying them with some plastidip. The roof runners, though, you're better off replacing them. They simply slip out, in a sense. Just takes a bit of finagling.
Alternatively, you can see if any of those "back to black" trim restore thingies work. I'd look up reviews, first, to see which ones showed positive lasting results.
