honda sells them but its gonna cost a pretty penny, check ebay best bet!

 

You can take those pieces off and have them paint-matched. They're not necessary for the car to function, so you can drive the car whilst they're getting painted.

Or you can also make a WTB post in the For Sale / Want to Buy thread at the top of main forum page.

 

It's a pretty easy DIY, I did it myself to see if I was up to the task of painting some other parts. It took about 5 minutes to remove the trim piece. So if you can find them cheap in a different color, it won't take much to match them to your paint.
