so i don't know about the structural integrity of cars- doesn't mean I know nothing.
I have done a lot of work on it myself-
replaced thermostat, flushed out radiator, replaced points, pressure test spark plugs, remove surface rust and respray, fixed a broken lock, replaced exhaust manifold bracket, tuned carbies, moved the choke, changed the steering wheel, replaced wheel bearing and a lot more.
Most girls don't even know how to change a tyre/check oil etc...
My point is, i like my car and if you don't, dat's cool yo.
I shall look down upon you from heaven after my untimely demise in a car accident.

PM me if you're really interested but for the record, I'm not a CA yet (fingers crossed for November). I've just been working full time in a chartered firm for 5+ years.
It's all good. FYI bought the Evo myself as well. That being said my parents did pay for the Civic which they have since taken back when I moved out a bit over 3 years ago. (also note I'm probably a bit older than a lot of people on here).
Interestingly though I didn't want to buy a German car a couple of years back when I got my fulls because of the exact reaction you had- I didn't want everyone to think my parents bought it for me hence why I waited until now (24) before I bought this car.
Thanks to Tenchi for the photos!

I was thinking about doing that too...but I don't have the money to get someone else to do it
.I am curious about how much the vinyl is, so I can do it myself.

If you've never done it before, save yourself the hassle and don't DIY. A few mates of mine tried DIY before and it didn't come out that well- and we wasted material too which isn't cheap.
Just doing the roof, materials will cost you around $150 (not including tools) but to get a professional to do it will be circa $400. You'll also need a few mates to help you do it since the panel pieces are quite big and you can't let it bend/fold/touch. It's like contacting your textbooks but on a car. Bubbles are not cool.
I'm not sure how much a full car costs but a few friends who have done it at various places say it costs between $3k and $5k depending on size of car and what design you want.

Yeah you can do matte. You can also do custom designs etc etc.
I was thinking of just matte black...and no design. For 3-5k I may as well get a better car lol.

It's like contacting your textbooks.. but on a car. It's marketed as paint protection but it also can change the look of the car- it's pretty much what you posted up with the R35. Only problem for me is my car is kinda boring (i.e. it's a C class and it's not an AMG) so I'd be worried I look like a turd for wrapping a stock car.
These are the guys I usually use: http://carbonfibrevinylwrap.net.au/
They also have my Evo on there somewhere.
