Okay sounds weird but does anyone with a DX get annoyed by the little black strip on the trunk? And what about those black side mirrors? Has anyone painted them? If you had I was just wondering how and ultimately which is the best way!
cheapest and easiest way i can think of is maybe going to a junkyard and finding a car with your colour. the thing that annoys me the most is that black strip along the side of the car, i got a sedan and cant take it off cause its got holes underneath them .
My 01 LX has the black mirrors and door handles, but that trunk strip is white. I saw my first DX the other day and didn't think the black strip looked that bad... kind of breaks up a sea of white on my car.
Mirror -- I prefer black, since the paint will just chip anyways. Actually, I like the 92-95 style mirrors the best...
Oh well, its my beater so I don't really care that much about things like this... For me, its just transportation. Doesn't mean I don't keep it clean and all, but I am just not that worried about things like the body colored trim...
BTW, mine doesn't have any side moldings, but I've seen cars with it in body color -- never black.

or you can do what I did and make em match to everything hah... well kinda
you can buy some matching ones from majestic honda, or local junkyards
Thanks for all the tips guys! Has anyone ever actually painted theirs yet? I have yet to see it done to a dx, also I wonder if you can paint the front grill (bottom piece that holds fog lights)
dragoon I am from seattle so majestic honda is a little far plus to buy the pieces painted is way expensive, JUST looking for a CHEAP way ahhaha thats all thanks for the tip
Hey man. Me and Riley both painted our back trim piece. He has a sedan so his was chrome but I have a DX like you. Basically we sanded it down then went over it with thinner. Then painted about 2-3 coats of factory matched spray paint Riley bought from some chick up north. All in all ir worked out well on my car. Riley's was a little harder bcuz we had to sand every last chrome piece off. Anyways hope this helps. The paint will come out brighter then the car at first but after a while it faded into the right color.
hey wannabefast, I couldn't find it on the site any help please
