Default Replacing trim below window?

Okay I feel like a moron. I can't fnd this trim anywhere and mine looks like donkey butt. Somebody point me in the right direction por favor. I've looked on hondaautomotiveparts but didn't find it.

Yes, I know my car looks like crap from this shot...horrible window trim and a tore up seat!

paint doesn't stick well to it since they're rubber.

For future reference...those of you with CRX's will need #10. Those with Civics will need #4. The part number is the same.

what's up with the price discrepancies i'm always seeing for stuff like this. i'd shell out $32 for the pair, but not the $90 that hondautomotiveparts.com wants.

Wow! Usually Majestic Honda beats local Honda dealers. I'll have to go check with my local dealer. Too bad my "local dealer" is 45 minutes away.

Same thing was happening on my EG, I went to the local auto parts store and got some black valve cover paint and used that. It comes out flat black and not glossy. Looks brand new.

Wow, $32 for the pair. Are you sure? I just got a pair from Majestic, and they were something like $80 - $90 for the pair.

I also had to trim about an inch off the back because they were too long. Maybe they sent me civic ones or something.
