    any sources for oem window trims for coupe?

    i got my k24 running good and hauling ass for now. next up is to make it look better. all my stainless trim is in bad shape. any places to find new trim or delete them? junkyards dont have many coupes, and when you go to remove them, they get damaged. can you still get the trim clips from honda?

    Which pieces do you need? Honda shows the clips as discontinued. If you're careful, some of the clips will come out intact.

    Edit: Wow. I searched all sorts of clips suppliers - didn't find this one. Might have to have a trim removal party at your local U Pull. If you pry gently on the bottom of the chrome strip, it will pop off the clip. Then with a narrow blade, you can try to compress the barb on one side of the clip to remove it. Sounds like I should collect more of these when I have the chance. I recently removed the driver side trim from my 92 project car to replace the gasket on the clips thinking they were part of a water leakage problem.

      I have a couple clips and I got some from Paul and some from junkyard. I can take a look in my PAP. I know there is one coupe. Not sure on the condition of the trim.

          I think I have it all, problem would be packing it to ship it - large boxes get expensive regardless of weight. I might have reason to go to Charlotte, NC sometime soon - Atlanta isn't too far out of the way.

                I found all the clips on Ebay as a kit cheap.

                    Part number is 91528-SM4-023 for the trim above the door/side windows. There are ten available on ebay ($7.90 each, ouch).

                      For windshields, there's a seller with 29 clip sets being sold on ebay. This one is advertised as fitting the coupes from '90-'93.

                      https://www.ebay.com/itm/Windshield-...c/202773185320

                      Here's the listing for the sedans:

                      I plan on getting a sedan one in the near future before I get my windshield replaced.

                        I had to replace a damaged door molding on my 5th Gen wagon, and it used the same clips as above. Found a cheap set of 20 or so on eBay, then went to the yard and pull the trim I needed. Didn't care about the clips since I had new ones ready to go.

                        This is one of the cases where going OEM isn't really worth it....$7ish per clip, or a 20 pack for $15 aftermarket. And its not like you're gonna remove that trim piece in the future....except maybe for paint.
