Fitment
- 2016–2021 Honda Civic Coupe
This kit covers the chrome trim only. It applies over the OEM chrome and never replaces it.
Installation
This is a dry install. Plan about 30 to 45 minutes, and rate it a 3 out of 5 for difficulty: easy pieces, with extra care needed at the rear quarter tuck and the long front door pieces.
-
Clean the trim. Wash the window trim and remove wax, dirt and debris. A clay bar pass is recommended. Work in the shade, never in direct sunlight; ideal temperature is 65 to 72 degrees F, workable from 65 to 90 degrees F.
-
Run the practice pieces first. The kit includes two practice pieces. Use them to get the hang of laying, tucking and trimming before touching the real pieces, and remove them before the actual install.
-
Start with the rear quarter window piece. Align the top edge of the vinyl to the chrome window trim. The rear quarter piece is cut to tuck under the window molding; work the excess underneath so no chrome shows.
-
Then the door pieces. The front door pieces are slightly oversized in length and width on purpose, so the vinyl conforms to the bend of the trim without coming up short. Align the top edge first.
-
Squeegee center out. Work from the center outward, tucking edges under the molding as you go.
-
Trim and post heat. Trim any excess with a sharp blade, then post heat the edges to set them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it replace the chrome trim?
No. The vinyl covers the OEM chrome. Nothing is removed from the car, and the overlay itself removes without damage if you want the chrome back.
Does it fit the other body styles?
No. Window trim follows the body, and this kit is cut for the Coupe only.
What if I mess up a piece?
Start with the two included practice pieces to learn the tuck and trim. If a real piece still goes wrong, contact us about a replacement piece.
Can the overlay be removed?
Yes. The film removes without damage to the surface, returning it to its factory look.
