Tooks some pics for ya.

Step 1: Get a flashlight. lol

Push that little tab with the screwdriver and pull on the trim piece. You have to pull toward the front of the hood.

You're right. I'm glad I got both of them color-matched now. I don't know why honda did that. So tacky.

CivicsRdBest is a glorious beacon of light

I need to get more chrome on mine... it looks like the top parts are rubbing off...

I don't think that chrome sux, it's just the fact that its only on two pieces (on the exterior, I'm pretty sure Ferios have a side trim with chrome on it) is what makes it look weird.
