Should I chrome my Door Handle and Window trims?
As title says ... should I chrome my fron window trim and door handle when i paint my car? I've seen a couple of car on here that did that and seems to look pretty good. What do you guys think?

I will try to post the pictures of those cars once I get back home.

No. Looks even worse with a dark color.

I repainted mine, I stripped them down to the bare metal when I did it.

I didnt like the way the silver window trim looked on my LE. So I repainted them black and it looks good!
