Hey guys i have to post a pic.. but i removed the black tape thats around the window moldings above the window it looked crappy when i saw it bubbling etc.. i said to myself this looks cheap.. so i removed it and used the mr clean magic sponge to remove the adhesive.(use a lot of water with it)

Looks good .. it revealed a bright chrome /polished surface looks pretty cool i gotta say.. different

Yeah .. it may look even cooler on 4 door models cause you can remove it and it will go from front to back window

I did just the top not the bottom..

I thought that all 7th gen Accords had chrome window moldings? :dunno:
Did you buy the car new? Maybe the previous owner put black tape over the chrome surface - I actually prefer the all-black look around the windows...

...in an attempt to appease the crowd, is this the chrome trim you are speaking of???

Sedans don't have the black tape over the chrome. Only the coupes came with it, and yes underneath is shiny chrome. The only reason I see for the tape is that they didn't want to do a chrome window surround on the sail (triangular) window to cut cost. I've seena a coupe without the black tape and it looks unfinished because it doesn't extend all around IMO. Let's see the pics though, maybe he did a better job that the one I saw.
