Do they pop out easily? I'm not big on painting interior parts, but I think they would look nice in silver to match the other interior accents.

Has anyone done it? I have only seen one on here, but they were painted blue.

Speaking of silver paint, what is the best to get to touch up? I have a few chips on the interior door handles I want to fix.

sorry no info on it...but ive been having a problem with the red inserts...i gotta take it to honda some time soon to get it fixed...the fabric doesnt fit it too well. but on the insert...i think it should come off...maybe something like the helm book...aka the ep3 bible...would have some helpful info in it...never know

oh that....
YES it does come out
BUT if you paint it when you reinsert it
my guess it will flex and paint might crack

hmmmm...well i wouldn't want to mess them up.

why aren't there any colored/carbon fiber/whatever aftermarket replacements available? i'm sure they would sell.

trim in the ep3 is a red stitch

im sure there aren't enough people that want blue inserts
with red stitched seats and red stitched wheel lol

oh...i'm sure there are some. :)

seriously though, i think silver (to match the interior accents), black or carbon fiber would look fine.

If you use a dye, it shouldn't crack. Paint will however.

Good luck. :)
