Default Replacing silver trim around windows on 91 Civic Sedan

The plastic outer coating is almost non-existent, and therefore the silver is started to wear off & fade. I'm looking to either replace this if at all possible, and if not any suggestions on how to easily remove all of the plastic coating & silver to just make it flat black. Thanks!

I'd like to replace it all if possible...
Thanks for the link - this may make me seem like a 'tard but what do I put when it asks for Emission / Transmission type?? My car is an automatic...but I don't know what these codes mean! I don't know if it should be "KA4AT" or "KL4AT"...

Nice!! Wish mine was that clean. My Sedan is a work in progress. Got it for free with less than 115k on it, now it's about 119k, but it had a LOT of rust in the rear passenger quarter panel which I've had fixed as far as the body work but now I need a paint job. Also the hood is dented because whoever owned it before rear-ended some so I'm about to get one from CertiFit and hopefully can get the quarter panel painted in the next couple months. Still needs a few more dents & stuff removed since last weekend some of my fat *** neighbors decided to sit on my front fender and dent it!!! I'm debating on selling her for a VW Either that or keep it & just make it look real nice like it's new or something. Lmao. I dunno, I'm female so you know I change my mind like every hour on the hour. Thanks for all your help! I tried calling them but whoever I talked to was an idiot & had no idea what I was talking to...so I'm checking out the other link now. Thanks!!!

Now how do you know if your trim is the one that requires window removal or not? I hate to start pulling at it and I end up with a flap hanging out.
