it's called "mother's back to black" and it revives plastic trim. u can get it at shucks or some other auto store.... just ask the clerk n they should find it for u. it's like a semen type liquid you apply and it just turns it black it works real good

I did it like jo3blo3 did b4. It works just make sure you use semi-gloss paint that is made to paint flexible surfaces.

Diddo to that^^^
My trim was cracked and basically destroyed, so Mothers was not an option.
I just scraped it all off, and semi-glossed the sh*t out it. Looks good to me.

Use "back to black" from Mothers. Its wonderful. Use just need to apply it like once a month. Well worth it though.

the door molding on my 99 was looking like crap too. I just replaced it with new ones from

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com Wasn't cheap, but it looks good.

I got parts 1 & 3 in the pic below. Mine came with all the clips too.
