I saw a really nice looking CGP with blacked out chrome borders. I think he sprayed a matte black paint over it because i saw some chipping. I think I saw someone use a certain type of tape for the effect but i don't know if it was regular tape or a special type.

 

heeltoe is selling the euro black borders.. but they're expensive though.

 

Have you got a link to the exact page where they are sold or can you provide the specific name to search for? I can't find them on HeelToe.

 

any link to the page on heeltoe? couldn't find it

looks better with the black.. don't like the chrome on the tsx.. would be better if the grill wasn't chrome also.

 

yea.. looks much better without chrome around the car.. door handle, window trim, grille..

 

door handle isn't too bad. gives it a little more of a sleek look but the rest should be colored black

the alternative way to do this converision is to use black tape. I know tsx.fury blacked the chrome when he had his car not sure if he used tape or just changed the whole thing.

 

went to walmart to check out some tapes. the only black tape they had were electrical tape. i checked ebay and found some skate/hockey tape but i dont' think they would stick very well although i've never seen/used the skate/hockey tape.

 

you could probably just remove the chrome molding. take a scotch pad and scuff it up really good. then paint it black. it'd be alot of work involved, but it would probably be very similar to when I painted the insides of my civic headlights.

 

its called trim blackout tape.

 

thank you! i actually have an Graphite Pearl 2004 Accord that i want to blackout and found this DIY site: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/650229/7

on my way to Autozone right now

 

my local Autozone didnt have it but my Pepboys did. its in the pinstrip section. It costed me $5.99. still contemplating whether i should do it or not.

 

Hmm...tempted. Curious as to how long it would hold up throughout the weather.

 

any pics of the front of the car? I wanna see what was done with the front grill, if anything.

 

it sure does for $400-500 ish for little plastic.

 

Was this car done with the HeelToe kit? I followed the thread to the site, but I can't seem to find the kit. I'd really like to get rid of the chrome.

Thanks,

Tony

 

Looks good

 

looks sexy. I've never been a fan of chrome...although the chrome in the TSX isn't too bad. I think it looks a little classy

 

yeah, i actually like the chrome. I think it gives it a more luxury look to set it apart from the honda line.

 

I used tape like CCC, I gotta take some time to get some pictures uploaded today. Too bad it gets real dark real early these days.

 

I no longer have the tape on since I have the polished wheels I think the chrome looks good but with the revamped design of the car I am thinking of I might get the JDM black trim.

 

I did that on my TL before and yes look better.

 

i was just thinking about this today and although pricey, my next mod will be the JDM blackout trim

 

Can someone please post a link to the JDM blackout trim I keep hearing about? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks!

Tony

euroR grill with matching hood trim

 

^ That Euro-R grill looks like it has perfect fitment... From what I've seen so far the Euro-R's are a bit off.

 

^ note my location (my car is not a tsx)

 

LOL thats classic!

 

The car looks HOT. Thanks for the link!
