Default window trim

anybody know a way to black out the chrome around the windows? i covered it w/ black electrical tape
to see what it'd look like & i must say it completly changed the car's apperance.

can the trim be ordered anywhere in black?

will paint stay on?

the more i look @ my dark car with dark windows & dark wheels, the more that damned chrome around
the windows gets on my nerves!!!!!

and please don't tell me to take off the pinstipe - IT'S COMING OFF WHEN IT GOES TO THE BODY SHOP
TO HAVE THE WRECKED 1/4 PANEL FIXED!!! :madfawk:

the paint will chip off the chromed plastic trim. ive seen it happen to alot of ppl. my civic's black window trim (rubberized metal) wore away, and used black vinyl tape (electrical tape ) to cover them up. its been on there for 8 mos w/o any probs. i park it outside too

Electrical tape sounds like a great idea, lol. I was just wondering the same thing cause I replaced my EX Wagon doors with LX Sedan doors, so it looks odd.
