Hood chrome molding.
 

Alright, here's the case.

https://www.civicforums.com/forums/a...1&d=1220412677

It doesn't match. I wanna either take off that chrome piece or paint it black. But I took a closer look at the molding, and (I think I) found that the hood is indented in a way that conforms to the chrome molding piece.

Am I wrong? Can I just take off that piece and call it a day? Or am I gonna need to take off that chrome piece, paint it black/beige, and put it back on?

And anyone know how to take it off *properly*?

Don't be ghetto lol, you can buy a color matched hood trim and replace the chrome one with it, its worth it! I had to replace the trunk and hood trim.

Ohh and yeah as far as taking it off, if you look there are holes on the hood where there are nuts and some white clips. Take off the nuts and use a needle nose plier to squeeze and push the clips out at the same angle you see the bolts coming into the hood. Fairly quick and painless.

buy the painted one for the coupe. it doesnt look pretty if you just take it off.

*smacks head*

Why didn't I think of that!

Now, I don't know if I should go for black or beige. lol

Oh, and can I get it from the dealership?

haha neither does 01 em2 coupe, that looks ghetto either way. I have an idea, how about a cf one lol...

who in their right mind would want to have a ugly piece of chrome put on their hood from the factory, say NO to chrome.

Did you end up paying a wickedly big sum for that moulding assembly? Dealership says $70 and apparently the couple assembly doesn't fit the sedan assembly.

i got that same grill. but i color matched the outside of it (silver) and painted the hood piece silver too. looks good. i bought a can of color matched paint for $20 online here Express Paint

I have the coupe moulding on my 4dr, too. I bought mine from Majestic Honda (www.hondaautomotiveparts.com) -- replaced the rear license moulding as well. It's really easy.
