I was going to say the same thing...the paint underneath is pristine...if I didn't have NPB I'd probably remove mine too!

I'm glad I logged back in here today. Just the DIY I was looking for! Thanks!

You are my hero for posting this DIY. Thanks so much for doing this. A lot of people have been wondering what the process is. No wonder there's no replacement diy in the service manual. You'd have to remove the door trim to put on new vinyl like oem.

Damn! Good job, I'm having the same issue, but I don't think I have the paint color behind the current vinyl

I have an 04 TSX

How come you think there won't be paint color behind the vinyl?

Nice Job! I thought it is a plastic cover before.
It actually is a 3M tap.

Nice DIY. So when you laid it down, if there was a bubble would you have to peel it back off and re-apply? I know with screen protectors you can kind of squeegee them out, but on black vinyl it seems like a credit card would scratch the new vinyl.

mdkxtreme

Yes, if you get air bubbles, you should peel the part of the bubble off and reapply. If the bubble is minor, it will disappear in a few days. When I applied mine, I got zero air bubbles the first time through. I don't know what it is, but using a microfiber towel to lay it down helps dramatically. You should always inspect the vinyl for air bubbles while laying it down. It doesn't make sense to inspect for air bubbles AFTER you lay it all down.

You definitely wouldn't want to try and squeegee this out because it will indeed scratch the vinyl.

I just did this DIY over the weekend.

You can use a hair dryer to warm the vinyl as you pull it off and it will make the job a lot easier. With the heat, you can pull the vinyl and leave almost no residue behind.

Crap!!! How did that not cross my mind!?

I used a hair dryer to debadge my car but didn't even think about it when doing this. Thanks for the great reminder though

Going to try this this week sometime on a Subaru. Vinyl I have no is new, but the dealer tried to polish it and ending up putting a bunch of swirl marks. Instead of having them take apart a relatively new car, I'm going to try this DIY. I think I am going to just apply the new vinyl over the current one instead of cutting and taking the old one off. Since the current one doesn't have any major defects, the new one should go on smooth over it. Don't see why it wouldn't stick? I see they often sell carbon fiber pillar tape that are specifically designed to go over the OEM one as like mod so I'm hoping this works as well!

Jae_Rex

Me too. I've been looking for a replacement panel to no avail. Now I know why. My b-pillar is dented and scratched to sh*t. I guess I'll be doing bodywork.
