To do Black Window Trim or not

I have a montego blue sedan, and will be getting hyperblack CSL reps as well. So, my will most likely be looking like this setup. So the question is, which one looks better, chrome trim or black vinyle trim:

chrome trim


black vinyle trim (sorry for the quality but it was a quick photoshop :P)


I would appreciate it if you guys would comment on this. Thanks :P

Like that ol' BMW saying goes...once you go black you never go back. Ok, maybe not a BMW saying, but I think the black will look better if you have the blacklines, rims and amber overlays like the car pictured.

Very nice color combo with the wheels. I would do the window trim in black and the front grill.

I prefer the black window trim over the chrome...but it's a costly mod, no? Also, I would def do the matte black grills.

without tinks id just take the black

on cars with chrome/polished lips I would leave it as it matches the wheels. On cars w/ no lip I would go w/ a black finish
