I've got rock chips all over the front bumper and one inch hole due to rebar sticking out of a parking curb. It punched all the way through my bumper.

yeah, whats up with these "sqeeky clutches"?. my started to sqeek like 4,500 miles ago. it drives me crazy!. i can REALLY hear it when i've got my windows up and no music playing. although, sometimes it's doing it, and other times it's not. i wonder whats up with that. as for the paint. yeah, thats normal. i may plan on re-painting my car the same color sometime soon if i decide to keep it. my 02 Civic EX is VERY save-able . it's just that the exterior of the car isn't perfect like the interior or the engine bay is. so i MUST re-paint it and fix whatever dings and dents i have on it in order for me to feel better about keeping it. cause lately, i've been feeling like i REALLY wanna trade it up for something else. i'd like all sorts of faster and more better quality cars but in reality, i could only really afford something like a Scion Tc. thats the ONLY car that matches as close as possible to the honda civic. and it's cheap in price for what it offers. it's like an older Si Coupe. HP and torque etc. ehh!, maybe i will trade or maybe i won't. who knows. ALSO!, i wanted to ask you guys if you knew how much a really good paintjob would cost me to get for my civic. one thats just as good or slightly even better than the factory paintjob thats on it now. i ONLY WHAT THE EXTERIOR PAINTED. everything else about the cars paintjob on the INSIDE is ok. it's the OUTSIDE i hate....so do you guys have any ideas on how much the cost for a new paintjob would be?....a GOOD paintjob?

I've allready had them machined about a year ago. I want to get some brembo blanks and just get rid of the problem rather then temporarily solve it.

http://www.geocities.com/pfeifferperformance/TSBs.html This has pretty much all the problems you guys talked about and how to fix them. It's pretty handy and it helps to know your car isnt the only one doing it.

The main problem I have is the dent on the passenger door caused by an inconsiderate O'Charley's customer in Lexington, KY on October 30, 2004.

There are also the scratches caused by me(oops!) on November 5, 2005.

Also, I have dents from people leaning on my car. Oh, and someone hit my car and took some paint off the bumper June 12, 2006.

Stupid fuel sending unit (gas gauge) doesn't work right, even though i've replaced it once. Numerous rattles from the plastic along the doors and windows. Bootleg suspension that is too soft from the factory and these stupid *** potholes make it 10 times worse.

I'm about ready to trade this thing in for a VW Jetta, but the $$$ says no.
