Which Looks Better? Black or Chrome...

Ive been thinking about painting the chrome molding around the windows black. The chrome looks kind of tacky to me but after the photoshops Im not sure... What do you guys think?

i like the chrome. it gives some contrast. also lexus is a luxury brand so sporting a little chrome isn't the worst thing to have

The chrome looks good to me. The black almost looked like maybe you took the trim off and forgot to put it back.

i like the chrome, it matches your rims pretty well. the half chrome looked badass, imo.. streamlined the car without making it look like it was missing something
