Thinking about buying TSX...question 1st

[mikeyut3]

I know this is a dumb question, especially for my frist post.....I am considering a 05 TSX and there is really only one minor thing i dislike....Is it possible to replace the chrome on the door handles and around the drivers and passenders windows??? If so, does anyone have any info (i.e. pics, price, places online to buy)? THANSK!

it's possible to de-chrome the frames around the windows - seen some civics in Singapore which had gone through the process. but have not heard of anyone who changed the chrome handles though

I think Euro-R models has black in stead of chrome:

so you can get those or maybe trade with Euro-R owner who wants the chrome.
and Outer door handles can taken down and painted

(but then IMO, the car begins to look like a Civic rrrrrrrrr6 )

The door trims are possible, but the door handles has a slightly different shade of chrome for the CL7s. Unless you want to have them painted by a paintshop, anything can be done.
