I need both molding's re-done because the black is almost gone and it's pretty much Chrome.

Well I found the pieces here: http://www.hondapartscheap.com/parts...bumper/molding

Now with those, it says also #10 CLIP, DOOR MOLDING. States QTY REQUIRED 8. What are these and why do I need 8 of them?

Have you considered Plasti dipping the pieces?

I've tried Plasti-dip before. I'm just not very good at it lol. I'd rather (having the money) just get them brand new. I'm very picky about certain stuff lmao.

Each molding piece comes with two clips and since there's four molding pieces for the car I'm sure you know why you need 8. The two clips clip inside the door to hold them in place. They're attached to the molding pieces.

I replaced all four of mine about a year ago. The manual for the rear says to roll down the rear window and lift them out. They should come out with the clip entacted but because our cars are 10+ years old the plastic is brittle and some will break and fall down in to the door frame. A couple of mine broke on the front and rear. The front replacement involves rolling down the window and removing the side view mirrors. Pretty easy job in general with the exception of the clips breaking.

HTH

Edit: I see you referenced a coupe. Then you'll only have 4 clips, which, once again, will come attached to the new molding piece.

You can't buy the trim without the clips.

Each trim (either #1 or #4) comes with its necessary clips (#10) or you can buy the clips by themselves.

See, this is exactly why I ask for help with certain things because seeing the reference showing QTY is 8 clips where it shows the door trim, they make it look like it will be 4 clips for each door. And also I didn't know the moldings come with it's necessary clips lol.

I so appreciate the help guys. This forum is AMAZING for help. I'm going to order the 2 trims now.

When you see something like that, that's the quantity of that item for an entire car.


In the parts pic above, the line with 1 and 4 was pointing to both the trim and the clip, while the number 10 was only pointing at the clip.


-----------------------------------------
FYI for the future, and because I go through this about once a week...

When it comes to clips, nuts and bolts, pushpins, etc., you really need to know how many of each you need before you order.

Inner fender liners are an example that might use several different styles of plastic pushpin fasteners, screws, clips, and maybe more, in various quantities.....but the parts department people usually have no way of knowing how many of which. ("No, I can't use all 42 of these huge pushpins to reinstall this little part!")

Yeah I just figured because that's what the clips are for so they put them next to the picture. Cause when I went to highlight 1 or 4, I was thinking it would highlight #10 also with it to show they come with it lol. Thanks man!!

Are your trim pieces color matched, or the matte black trim color?


If they are the black plastic, just paint them with this: SEM trim paint




If they are body colored, you can get new ones, or get a can of color matched paint, and paint them with that.
