Ok so I went ahead and bought one roll of the black out tape. Unfortunatly it only covers one side of the car with one roll. So I was able to take pictures of one side and other as a comparison.

Nice job. You really can't tell its tape by these pics.

it looks pretty good and it looks like it's painted (3rd pic)

It looks alright though I prefer the little bling bling of the exterior chrome.

CCColtsicehockey

well at that place it looks good out of one side i got two mini bubbles in it that i am going to try to pop with a pin

also in the back you see a tape line

CCColtsicehockey

yeah i know what you mean i am still debating on doing the other side cause i have the chrome on the door handles and then the chrome lip on my rims

looks weird man because of your door handles! Make the door handles tape aswell too look good.

Overall looks pretty decent, but I agree with the others that if you're gonna do it, you're gonna have to cover those door handles too.

Good job applying the tapes! Looks pretty nice BUT I still prefer the chrome trim a tad better.

The JDM handles have more chrome on them than the USDM ones do.

Exhibit A:

Maybe a tiny bit off topic but I swear it's not way off...

I noticed in CCC's sig about (need funds for) JDM headlights and rear corner. But from the pictures I've seen of the EuroR headlights, what is the difference from that to ours on the TSX? Only difference I can tell is the corner is white and ours is yellow. Is that it?

and the beam pattern is reversed so he can blind oncoming traffic.

Add JDM door handles to your list Colt, or just wrap in aluminum foil

Nice job on the taping, looks really good

05_TSX_GP

He can just flick on highbeam to blind oncoming

where did you buy the tape ? how hard was it? how long did it take? can you do a detailed write up?

iamhomin

That actually looks pretty nice.

Can you do me a favor and take a wide shot? I'd consider doing it to my car if it looks nice.

CCColtsicehockey

The tape I got at Advanced Auto Parts. It was pretty hard to keep from getting bubbles I think it took me almost an hour to do the one side. I will do a more detailed write up this weekend hopefully.

CCColtsicehockey

cant you just you the height adjuster and change the pattern that way Dan

Well, that would have been the other option, which is to get the all chrome JDM door handles, but I just figured it'd be easier to cover up the current ones.

dzuy

not bad sir.

i personally wouldn't do it, but looks good nonetheless.

CCColtsicehockey

the handles will be coming to soon enough dont worry, just like everything else, as funds come in more JDM parts are ordered

Dan Martin

You can adjust the height but the pattern will still be screwed up. The __/‾‾ line will be reversed.

It might not be a big deal, but it's something to consider.

But...but...but...blinding people is fun!!

Looks good CCC. Good job!

I wonder how well it will hold up in bad weather though.

LannyM

You might consider LHD EDM headlights. Looks just like JDM but with the correct beam pattern........

CCColtsicehockey

to late they are already in canada I just need to pay them the rest of the way off.

Chris_F

that taping job is pretty impressive. How did you get it to follow the curve of the window trim so well ?? nice work

PixelHarmony

definately some nice work

I do like the black JDM look better than the chrome USDM.. I think the TSX has way too much chrome and less chrome = more aggressive look. Can you link the exact tape your got?

fatcat

Good idea, thanks.

Hey guys, I posted earlier that I had actually bought the Euro-R black trim. They should be coming in this thursday, and I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to take the original chrome trim off?

Could the instructions to take the chrome trim on the doors off be in the helm's manual that people always talk about? Anyone with the manual, if you could help me out with some tips that would be appreciated. Thanks again.

will be sure to post pics once i get this installed.

BlackTSX

nader what did you pay for that trim?

CCColtsicehockey

hope you figure out soon cause i am going to keep pm'ing you till you get it on cause i want to see it. takes some pics before you put it cause i would like to see the front and the back of the trim. also what is the cost of it. I will be buying the helm's manual soon but not for another month or so. I have finally given in to the fact that it would be very useful, because I have needed things more than once.

nader-tsx

Yeah no doubt, hopefully it'll be up by this weekend. I'll be sure to take the pics of the trim pieces before putting them up.

So anyone have any ideas on how to take the trim off though? Or else I guess its trial and error...hopefully I don't scratch up my paint in anyway if I have to do it w/o any instructions.

CCColtsicehockey

take the top strip off first no paint up there

SirWaWa

great job!
very impressed
is it really called "black out" tape?
lol
what the hell is black out tape?
electrical tape?

PIKAvsTORO

Euro-R parts

CCColtsicehockey

thanks for the picture of the trim manual but I am still kind of confused on how the it is attached to the door. any chance you could explain.

nader-tsx

Thanks for the diagram on how the trim pieces go on!

I got my black trim pieces yesterday, but found that they forgot to include the straight bottom pieces for all 4 doors.

I guess i'll just try and put the top pieces in tonight and will post pics and description later this weekend.

CCColtsicehockey

they forgot to include them or they dont come with them do you have to pay more now. also take some pics of the backs before you put them on and the fronts of them. Also please do a write up on how to get the old ones off. it might look cool with the bottom chrome haha.

nader-tsx

forgot to include them. Not sure if they forgot to order them, or if the warehouse in Japan forgot to send them. sucks, i have to wait another 4-6 weeks.

yeah i took pictures last night, just need to post them tonight hopefully.
