A little too flashy for me. I don't like chrome. It has been linked on here before also.

Thank you kindly for starting a different thread about this. (instead of trailing it off mine) I do appreciate it!!


I still say it looks a little to TSX to me. But just my since you asked....

PS...who on ebay doesnt claim themselves as the "original" when all they are selling is cheap stick on trim you can get at any autoparts store?

i've seen pictures of the whole car with it, imo it looks a little too much like flare. Would be better if the actual handle were metallic.

Did you say flare? There is a rule that you must have a minimum of 5 peices of flare showing you know....you can choose more though if you want to stand out and be individualistic. lol

My brother had this idea a long time ago and we did it on his '05 Anthracite.

We chose silver stripe, and did that exact same thing you see in the auction.

It came out great. I'm not into flashy stuff at all, and it looks really nice. The silver strip on an anthracite background really gives a subtle contrast and sets it off.

I went to Murray's Auto Parts and picked up a roll of pinstripe. It was like 5 bucks, I think. One roll is more than enough. You could probably do 4 cars.

i actually just bought that door handle trim along with the front lower grill trim both from ebay. i havent got them yet though. i put on the chrome look aspecs this week and thought the trim might be nice to go with it. but at the same time, it also might look tacky as hell. i havent been able to tell from any pics ive seen exactly how its gonna sit on WDP. but hell, i figured both trim sets are like $40 to my door so why not give a shot and play around with it. the only thing im positive about is that its either gonna look good as hell or dumb as shit, no inbetween about!

ps...theres a wdp with the chrome door trim in the photo gallery if you look around. not very clean pics of the trim which is why im still sketchy about doing it.
