Been covered before,not sure where.

.you need to use plastic film that is used on outdoor signs by sign makers.

the black window trim can order thru local honda dealer, but it's gonna be expensive!
Alternative way is to get some blackout tapes and stick it around the chrome window trim

well since i'm implusive and impatient i went ahead and just stuck the tape on with out removing the sills, i used a really sophisticated tool to push and press the tape firmly between the rubber....my thumb nail

it worked

ran a knife between the rubber to cut the excess.... here is the first result...

i didnt take the trim off while i stick the blackout tape last time i did it.

Nice. looks like it came from the factory

cool thanks, i'm having thoughts of just blacking out just the top bits of the windows and leaving the bottom line in chrome i reckon it would look good and unique.... i was gonna finish it today but daylight savings kicked in, and i lost the tape for an hour, i finally found it outside on the ground next to the garden it rolled away just to pee me off

any way tommorow i will do the other side of my car and will only do the top and leave the bottom chrome and post some pics of both sides.... maybe have a poll

it really was a 5 minute job and the finish surprised me my self

i think the hard part is gonna be the small triangular window at the back... but then again i'll just do it...if it looks crap its all coming off... lol
