Default DX Window Trim

Anyone here installed the DX black window trim? This black-out tape I'm using isnt cutting it anymore...I was just curious how hard of a DIY it was. Thanks for any responses..

I remember someone painted thier chrome trim a while back, came out pretty good. I wasn't feeling it at first, but it's growing on me. If you find the thread, post it up so I can check it out, I'll do the same.

95AccordEXR - How is that paint holding up? Did you just sand it down, primer then paint? No clear coat?

i did mine too for people who remember.... i removed the upper trim, masked off lower door trim... sanded, primed, and used metallic black pearl for metal.... then used professional heavy clear enamel... came out real nice..

I went to the honda dealer today to order DX trim. They wanted 350 bucks for everything! I bought one part and am slowly going to buy it. h:
