Title: Carbon fiber window trim
Post by: 05coupedriver on May 23, 2012, 06:35:16 PM
Everyone know about the problem that the 7th gen accords have with the black tape window trim that is always peeling off and I didn't really like the chrome look on it so i ordered some carbon fiber vinyl and tried it out here are some pictures

I'll post judgement of final outcome when completed, but thus far, it looks promising.  What brand of CF vinyl was used?

Yes It's simple two screws and pull if I remember correctly.

It definitely came out pretty good.  I agree with what others have said.  The CF just doesn't seem to flow with everything else.  Needs more cowbell.

I was thinking of doing the mirror caps and I am doing the front grill as well

Looks good man, just complete the rest of that area. I'm planning on doing something on a much larger scale with that same Di-Noc material.
