it's not spam if you show us pics of YOUR car and the final installation. just linking to sellers site IS spam.

that is not a picture of YOUR car, it's an image from a website.

please post before and after pictures of your car highlighting the transformation.

here's my example from my 2001 EXV6 that I did. I didn't like the woodgrain, or the black plastic. I disassembled the interior dash parts and painted them with 3-4 coats of Rustoleum Hammered for Plastics, then 3-4 clear coats. End cost was under $30 and I didn't have stickers or films that can peal, plus, I can touch up at any time:

well i dont have pics of my car. so im showing an example. and my dash kit took like 20 25 minutes to install and didnt involve spray painting and completely removing and adding pieces of my car, its a quick easy way to install and made my car look good without replacing pieces

Default dash paint

Nice, I really like the dash paint job you did on your accord and Im thinkin of doing it to my accord but thought I might ask you a couple of things before I do anything. 1. did you paint the pieces with primer before using the paint? 2. how difficult was it to take out the door's window/handle pieces and how would I take them out? (is there a special way to)

Thanks

yes, i sanded, primered, painted, and clear coat the trims. 3 coats of paint and 4 coats of clear. all paints and primer were specifically labeled "for plastics".

disassembly is easy for me because i'm used to disassembly of cars. you just need to take your time, figure out what has clips and what has screws. clips have some give, screws don't. a good haynes manual can help you with disassembly, as well as looking on hondapartsdeals.com for the exploded views.
