ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    if it bends, then it'll be the exact same as the moulding on my old accord...

    metal...

    i know for a fact that they arent' plastic. well, mine weren't anyway.
    hmm.

    is it possible that it has plastic end caps and the rest in the middle is metal?

    i really didn't have much time to look at it because it was a random accord in a parking lot and i was parinoid about being caught taking a pic of it, lol. later.

          it looked like white plastic to me also. later.
          Lets use one of your pictures for example.

          do you see that line there?



          there is a piece of sheet metal running through the whole moulding!

                      ok, maybe they are metal. i see the arrow pointing at a rusty peice of metal in the rubber, but it's not pointing at the white peice under it all. i'll get my hands on a spare piece and see , lol. i didn't want to spend to much time looking at it and get caught. later.
