I think that AO hit the nail on the head. & the gold does look tacky since you will have silver on your car either way (side windows).

since 1990, a Gold Kit has been available from the dealership on all Accords, and even Gold Finish exhaust tips, and Gold Finish center caps were offered for certain models. the gold is real 24kt plating. these pics are from a 7th gen.

Hey falkore... if you're talking about the silver trim around the side window... the VP doesn't have that... its black trim... Ok.. I'm gonna shut up now that I've admitted I have the cheapest Accord out there...

And btw... gold is still tacky...

Yeah, I've never understood why Acura/Honda offer a gold trim kit. It looks gross with every color combo and is pricey. Just another outlet for those people who act rich and drive Acuras around like its a Bentley.
