Accord/TL window trim

I noticed by looking at my friends 2004 accord and my 2004 TL side by side, that they have identical side window configurations. However, the accord has a chrome outlining around it much like the G35, 04 maxima, etc. Is it at all possible to buy accord chrome trimming and swap it onto the tl? Im not sure how this would look being that the TL lacks much chrome, and I prefer the black but it seems like a logical idea. The only thing that would prove this wrong is how permanent this piece is.

The front window looks the same but the rear windows look different to me.

Yea, I'm a little disappointed too that the TL doesn't have the chrome trim around the windows. It makes the car look so much classier (in addition to how classy it already looks). I sometimes like how the TSX looks better from the side because of the chrome window trim.

I too agree that the TL should have came with some side trim, Would have been a great touch.

I too like it without the chrome. I guess it's just a matter of taste.

Interesting though, that my daughter has an '02 Accord Coupe, which has the chrome around the glass and it looks great against the color of the car (black). In '03, the newly designed Accord coupes came out without the chrome trim and, IMHO, they look kind of drab next to hers.

Still looks nice on the Accord sedans but I like the look of the TL without it.

My two bits worth.
