OR you could either remove the trim and paint it or mask it off with the trim still on your car.

The DX's come with black trim from the factory. However, at least on the coupes, the trim on the back of the window cant be removed.

I do believe to get the trim off from the bottom of the window area on the door the glass needs to be removed so you can get to the clips on the underside of the molding.
