Funny u post this, i also have a sedan, just today i dropped them off at the body shop to get painted along with my altezza grill. i sanded the shiat out of the chrome, so hopefully the paint will adhere to the moldings, i'll reply when i get them back-

yea the coupe and sedan rear moldings above the license plate are different. I went to the honda dealership a few months back for my coupe to see if they had a chrome 1 and they said no , that the coupe and sedan are 2 different sizes.

Oh man sorry about that. I posted that did fit based on what that guy from Majestic Honda said. I knew there was something fishy. Sorry you had to learn the bad way. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

Yep, I also wanted the rear piece to match the color of my car. I don't know why they wouldn't make it for the sedan. At least you can get the piece for the front. I thought about buying some cf film and just putting that over the rear and front piece. I have never seen the film in person so I am not sure of the looks and whether it would stand up to the elements.

Yeah you start to take a chance when you DIY stuff. I guess I'll just have to stick with the chrome one or have it stripped and painted.

You know, if anyone is interested, I have a white rear trim peice for a Coupe that I bought for my Sedan about a year ago, that has been doing nothing but sitting in it's bag since the day I got it, I think I was the first person to post long ago that it doesn't fit. If anyone is interested in taking it off my hands, for a very fair price, just email me.

Just so everyone is clear, the front trim peices between the Coupes and Sedans are interchangeable, the rear trim peices are not.
