We are running into that at work more and more. If the high end luxury brands have no hope, there isn't much for the cheap commuter ones. Most of our customers are going the aftermarket route for older cars that aren't supporting the newer phone interfaces. You can get a very good aftermarket...
Fronts yes (just don't have a mount for the brake line). Rears no, without some fab work to make them fit (they have a smaller shock housing and the rear LCA bushings would need modified).
Cleaning a car with minor car soap and water and a full detail including pressure washing the undercarriage and engine bay are completely different things. All of the dealerships around here including all 11 of ours only do minor washes. Anything extra is a sublet to one of the local...

I would recommend covering stuff and...
I don't see why you couldn't being that these are and were very popular. They are everywhere and are a dime a dozen. Just have to look around and the right one will present itself.
Did they say you were 100% at fault? I would think that even though it is a rear collision that the driver that stopped in the middle of an onramp with merging traffic behind him would be some what liable.
Either way, that really sucks. Glad everyone was ok. Cars can be replaced, people...
Impossible to tell accurately. EVERY civic seems to be different and most of them the needle bounces around a lot on lower fuel levels.
Also, we have no clue what you are working with...
Considering that most civics average around 30mpg (48-50km) your 2km was not very much in the numbers...
