Default Chrome Accent on the Windows Removeable???

Hello CL. I was just curious if it's easy to remove the chrome accent on the windows? My IS250 is obsidian (blk) and I would like to go for a stealth all black look so I would like to paint the chrome parts to color match if possible. My other solution is, if someone makes a cover for them instead like the ones they sell for the pillars.

Has anyone else done these (paint or cover the chrome accent)? Any pics?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I would not take those off as they are facotry sealed for water leakage and air noise. I have recently put some inquiries into a curbside/ carside type of black chrome service and am waiting to see what they say

I think changing the trim to black probably wouldn't look as good as you envision it would. I could be dead wrong though.

It might. I've seen pics of people painting the grill's chrome bezel/accent and it looks great. I don't think it would look that bad.
