thanks 4 all the input. i just joined today, haven't looked at all the other messages.
so i can't order the trunk molding in body color...but i want them to match, it wouldn't be right. i've never painted over "chrome" or whatever that cheezy molding is. i guess i'll just leave it - depends of if i feel like i need to [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG] after i install my grill or not - either way it should look much better than the stock grill.

Thanks for the replies...
I've decided to paint the lip SSM and leave the mesh black
I talked to a body shop that my company does business with and asked them what they would charge me for the prep / paint...They said that since they already have 3 SSM Civics in for work that they would just prep and paint it for me FOR FREE[hr]

Chrome trim is for old fogers. That's why the put it on the 4 door sedans and not the coupes. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][hr]

I may be old, but I'm not a foger. You gotta realize the difference.

After looking at your members rides page, I can see where a black trunk garnish would look much better. Black on black is kewl.
