If you do not know the answer, and you have tried to learn the answer on your own, there is no such thing as a stupid question.

You ask questions to learn. Asking questions makes you smarter, not more stupid. Ask away.

There are no stupid questions, only inquisitive idiots.


Seriously though, Berlinas have black paint, all other colors have the black tape.

Yes it can, check out my Vinyl Wrap thread in the Gallery - wrapped my pillar and hardtop matte black. Originally Silverstone.

Don't go to Honda, they will charge you an arm and a leg for the OEM vinyl material that comes in three pieces. Measure out how much you need and order 3M 1080 vinyl that comes in 60" widths.

To apply, cut a strip the width of the pillar to the very ends of the moldings so you have enough to tuck under the moldings. Apply blue painters tape to the moldings before you apply the vinyl so you can trim without cutting into the molding, remove tape after trim then tuck the excess under the molding for a clean look. Bought my vinyl from Auto Vinyl Solutions, speak with Tommy tell him John sent ya
