I prefer a black trim on any car. The black also matches with your rims very well too

I'm a chrome guy. Personally i think the black makes the car look unfinished. Almost military-ish.

i like the black out trim- compliments the theme your going for.

chrome would look right with a different theme.

The black trim looks better...not a fan of chrome. Your car looks stealthy with the black.

Hehe, when we said contrast... we really wanted to go that far... but I am sure if it is done right, you can pull it off... Yellow calipers, maybe ... black and yellow rims... IDK...

black out on a car that supposed to be shown off doesn't make sense to me (sorry, I am closed minded). I like going to a place and knowing people recognizes my car from down the block at night... I am no longer 18 and doing illegal races neither am I trying to go for the KITT theme... Don't get me wrong the car looks great... I actually like the rims a lot and the blackout emblems and grille ... just think completely blackout is a bit too much!
