    DIY JDM chrome moldings

    Figured since I did this a little while ago, I have never seen anyone else do this before. JDM moldings with the chrome strip are rare and expensive, and you can do this mod for about $15.




    Just bought a roll of 1/8" chrome strip, cut it to size and stuck it on. Done. DIY JDM.


    JDM AS F*CK!

    You can also use this same chrome trim for edging your door panel inserts (passenger door)

    Good diy, by the way did you also did the front & rear bumper to match it up?

      No I didn't do the bumpers. The roll that I bought only had enough to do both sides.

      I have been debating doing the bumpers, but not sure. I kinda like it just on the sides.

      Oh and the best part about this? IMO, it still looks totally OEM and not just tacked on. The door panel insert edging gives them a retro and sporty look, while also being classy.

                      US accords and all 92-93s did not have the option for OEM chrome strips on the molding. You can do it to your 92-93 with his method, otherwise you'd have to hunt down 90-91 bumpers and convert your CB. And that's also a way to set apart one piece headlights, 90-91s have a chrome strip around the edges, if I'm not mistaken, and 92-93s don't. The tail lights also have the strips lol

                          OP did buy it and stuck it on. The OEM ones clip on, like OEM visors are clipped on but aftermarket visors are just glued. It's the little details that you have to watch out for.
