BLACK FTMFW!!!!!!!

Most "sport edition" cars come w/ black trim.

Trim Brite makes an AWESOME blackout tape for chrome trim. Its like a metallic/foil tape that won't wrinkle making curves, got it on my accord...worked awesome! you will need at least 2 rolls

I debadged the "Accord LX" from my trunk and blacked out the tails and the "H" emblem, but I'm keeping the "chrome" around the doors because it compliments the the polished lip on my wheels.

get the smoked out black emblems
smoke tint your tail lights
Are "smoked out black" emblems the same as black chrome? I believe only a year or two before my year (2001) black chrome emblems were an option. Has anyone found black chrome emblems?

Personally, I'm not much of a fan of chrome.

So the 00 wouldn't fit an 01? If not... :( ...I have a Nighthawk Black and always thought black chrome would look nice.

Is the spray tint durable?

the 01-02 emblems are bigger (at least on the trunk...i have a feeling neight will jump in on this since he knows like everything to do with this type of thing lol...right nate? ;) )

the tint is durable if your clearcoat it. clear is available in a rattle can so no worries. black chrome would look badass on a NHBP car :thumbsup:
