Re: Help with a 97 accord (dspaugh18)
Although I haven't any pictues for you, there are a few things I ran into which may help.
You won't be able to black out everything, dispite your greatest efforts, there will be "some" chrome remaining - mostly associated with the lamps. You won't be able to touch the side marker lamps at all without incuring the wrath of the local ticket issuers, and nobody that I'm aware of makes a headlamp of black Chrome.
For the Window surround (belt) moldings, you can use the DX versions (black), de-emblem everything and remove the '97's grille surround molding.
You might want to consider a Basic black with either gold or red emblems, The red compliments the black and takes the eye away from what chrome is remaining.
Just a thought
