S4 paint job: keep it stock-looking, OR

Getting my S4 vert re-painted soon. I'm leaning towards keeping it stock-looking; Keeping the black side/bumper trim. Or, perhaps I should go for the more modern look painting everything?
Pics appreciated!

I'd say paint the trim as well. The black side moldings make the car look more aged in my opinion.

On my 86 GXL, Fiberglassed out the spot for the mouldings.. I didn't like them, mine were faded and weathered, and I would have had to spend way to much money to get some new ones in.... WAY to much, considering how much I didn't like them. Of course, I think they can work for a solid color car, and if you can dye them or make sure they're a nice, shiney black.. If you can't keep em shiney and black, get rid of them

Of course, my opinons may be skewed
