haha i'm JP. yea i've always been a fan of desktops, they're easy to work with. hehe i used to tuck my computer and make it all super clean for no reason. eh requires to much energy, so now the inside of my PC looks gross 
. laptops are cool, but i don't like em cuz you can't really hook em up. well you can, but it's expensive. and you can't have drinks around it.

To the average Joe - somebody might think this guys likes Civic Sedans! Sadly this is the last time I had mine out for a good run around town. Forget when that was.... it was 2009 tho.

Yep, they are sort of a bitch to do, since you seem to be honest in your searches, i'll give you some help,
the best way that i've read is to basically rip your old panels off, tape off about 3-4" all the way around the insert area with blue painters tape *wont leave a residue and wont **** the panel up. Then cut a square of your material to cover the area leave plenty of excess. Get a good adhesive, I used 3M upholstery adhesive. Then spray the back of your fabric and the door panel, let it tack then set it on there, then gently push it down so you have no creases. *works best pushing inside to outside* and let it settle for a few mins, then push it into the creases.
let it set, then trim carefully with the sharpest mo ****ing razor blade you have. Oh and theres going to be some **** behind the factory fabric like a texture ****, get a razor and scrape them clean or your panels will look like *** and be bumpy.
If I do mine this weekend i'll take pics. biggest thing is just take your time and make sure it sticks well or you'll end up like me having to do it twice.

What about doing the headlight restore and then sealing them with LaminX? I put that stuff on my headlights and fogs and it never got any condensation under them. I never did the refinishing as mine were never foggy, but could be worth a try.

this stuff seems to always be the answer
