DIY

 

i dont want to do DIY i want the real deal......

 

I don't think they even came in black. You could try a DX but I'm pretty sure those had chrome as well.

DIY is probably your only option

 

 

on certain colors, the chrome pieces look better

 

1 option is to find a dx around at the junk yards 94-97 or use electrical tape and go around and tape up the chrome or just mask eveything off and paint it black

 

the dx mouldings are black, i got them for my lx at the dealership. it was like 312$ for all of them. don't bother looking in a junkyard because you can't remove them without breaking all the clips, they're made to be replaced new.

 

i have a dx :D

 

..there is a way to remove them without breaking, there's a proper way to release the clips from the car...
Protect with tape around your doors and stuff.... make sure you get everything protected, and spray paint it!!!
...But I think the chrome piece gives a nice touch to the accords....

 

how long did it take?

 

i had my 4th gen recently repainted and i took off all the chrome moldings to prevent overspray. i just sprayed the trim with black paint i already had. if i had to do this again, i would not do it because many of the mechanical fasteners broke. although they can be replaced, they are not cheap and always have to be special ordered. if you want black trim, do a good tape job and paint them while on the car. for some, you can slip small strips of somewhat rigid paper to speed things up and then quickly tape up any portion of the car that is needed. don't use enamel paint because it's thick; try a low gloss or flat paint. you may have to scuff the metal with some wet-dry sandpaper first and/or use a coat of adhesion promoter before painting.

 

Buy yourself a set from Honda and have them either powder coated or anodized locally. That way you can chose any color you want, and it will be durable.

I have not run into an aftermarket vendor yet that's offering these

Look in your local Yellow Pages under coatings, finishes or plating (chrome etc)

im a noob here, but i dont recommend you guys use a rattle can on your car? i rather leave them alone then use a rattle can. do it do it right.

 

theres nothing wrong w/ a little rattle can..i rattle canned the little chrome trim piece above my license plate. i used some gloss black radiator paint made by eastwood..comes out w/ a really good finish..on a piece as small as the little window trim theres not that much room for error.
