removing chrome moulding on sedans

just wondering, if you remove the moulding, what's under it? just wondering how our sedans will look without the chrome... cleaner look and all like the coupes

You can replace it with the body color trim piece from a coupe. HondaWerx has 'em.

The trim piece is held on by 4 screws and a snap connector in the middle. The snap connector thing is tricky, but can easily be disengaged by using a small screwdriver from the underside of the hood (there is a little hole you have to stick the screwdriver through).

What i did was took both of them off, sanded them down myself then gave them to my body shop, only charged me $30 to paint both trim pieces and alteeza grill.....he hooked me up, but it helped by me sanding and preping them first - looks much cleaner painted to match the body - d [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
