I am also looking for the metal piece that goes down the window. It's chipped and is the only part on the car that isn't in great condition. I really wanna replace this piece but 4 days of searching this part is no where to be found. Any clues where I could find one?

The cheapest place would be your local pick n pull.

Ah, the front windshield drivers side trim. Those are really hard to find good used ones. Can't tell from your picture how well it is attached to the window. If it is tight then I'd suggest taping off the area around it, lightly sanding the black paint and just repainting it instead of replacing. I do have one I just pulled of my parts car but it is not in the shape where I would feel good about shipping it to someone.

P.S. You might want to start uploading your pictures to photobucket and then copying the [IMG]http://www.acura-legend.com/vbulletin/f4/body-work-parts-149177/ file and pasting it to your threads so those of us who are old and need bigger pictures to see well....

Here is an example of my parts car.

I might have some left, I will check in the AM. The cheaper way would be to buy plasti dip and re spray it.

That's what my bf said just tape it off and strip the paint and redo it. I tried scrapping it but all it did was scratch the chrome. Also, I can't get photobucket to work unfortunately I'm sorry for the crappy pix

Taping-off and sanding/painting the trim will work. If needed, this would be an excellent time to so the wiper arms as well.

As far as the sanding, my goal is to remove the lose coating and smooth the edges of the cracks. You might want to try a sand able primer before you paint. Sand able primer will help to level the surface. Sanding will also remove any oil/wax that would prevent the paint from adhering. Good luck!

PS, don't paint when temps are cold - ideally 70 or above.
