Assalam-0-ALaikum,
I almost read your entire thread of 45 pages and now im forced to comment. Masha ALLAH you have a beautiful car, what is more interesting in it for me is that i owned a Civic (97) (from Aug '05 till July '11) in the same color, it was like maroonish red, with NO paint touchups except for bumpers, entirely original, although with tiny scratches, and oh my it was beautiful. So i remembered my car watching the pics of your car, and i truly respect your love to the darling you have (i call my car my darling :))
The respect, love and care you have for your car is worth applause ! Just be safe and put the name of ALLAH in it (i think you have the card of Dua e Safar hanged). Also, whenever you park your car outside the house, take it to a market, parking, etc, write 'Ya Hafeez' on your ride before leaving it (from write i mean move you fingers that way) (Its what my mother told me to do)
