Ek window strips? facelift vs prefacelift

[Jord]

hey guys,

my window strips are all faded and ****ed so i went to a wrecker to get a new set after being quoted 290.71 for two from honda!

my delema is that the wrecker only has facelifted ek hatches so im wondering will these strips fit my prefacelifted Ek hatch? the strip im talking about is the on that is between the window of the car and the door itself.

someone on here did a DIY where u put some tape over the strips or moulds to make it look better... but i dont like that idea.

also i got quoted 55 each for these strips from a wrecker... fair price?

cheers

yes the strips will fit ur ek. pre-facelift and facelift are basicly the same just the bumpers, lights, bonnet and fenders are different.

nothing wrong with the diy tape method, done it to my car for about a year now and it still looks great :)

i think id prefer to get one that look better. to me this seems a lil... weird.

just let it wear in, it'll be matte and look stock in no time :p
on another note i do need to redo mine because i sorta stuffed up the edges and its not staying in anymore

let me know if you wanna do it ricer i'll probably have tape to spare :p

brought new ones today! smick as... 45 each thats a huge change from the 145 each honda quoted me :p

[simonnowis]

why didnt you just respray the strip in black again.

[Jord]

they are made of rubber and mine has peeled and perished. new (second hand) strips look aot better i feel

[henrygiang]

where did u get em from?? for $45

[Jord]

a wrecker in hobart. the dude apparently has 3 of them :) was stoked they r like new.

[steve88]

mine are ****ed too lol, all cracked! ill check some honda wreckers and replace em ;) how did you take them out?

[Jord]

they are ****in easy to remove and replace . take of the lil black plastic thing thats runs up the door. (3 screws) and then get ur fingers under the edge and roll the mould towards u and it just unclips. opposite to replace! definately worth the 95 bucks :)
