To shadow trim or not - that is the "?"
Wonder what your guys opinions are on the shadow trim - i went to Lowes and bought electric tape(0.75cents) to mock the trim, although i will probably do a glossy finish on the trim to match the window post.
What do you guys think? Go with vinyl wrap or keep it chrome?

I think it depends on what else you plan on doing. If you're planning to leave your grill, trunk lip, and wheels chrome/silver then I'd stay w/ the chrome trim. If you black out a few more items the trim would go great IMO. If you haven't seen my DIY vinyl trim thread check it out, it's a simple & cheap project.

I have a GS too, I bought Matte Graphite CV3's so my chrome trim looks out of place. If you are keeping stock wheels it looks fine stock, looks sexy blacked out too.. I am gonna go a different more unique look with my trim though.

On my GS, I two-toned the grill, color-matched rear stock chrome spoiler, and plan to customize the headlights along with black roof/side trim.
I just dont like chrome on any cars, especially being the window trim.

Thanks for the responses - im leaning towards vinyl wrapping the trim as well. I want to wrap the rear spoiler with vinyl instead of plasti dip.
what do you guys think?

I'll say this: cudos for mocking it up with electrical tape so that you could assess the idea. I did that years ago with my previous car, and came away thinking it's something that only looks good on darker cars. Just one guy's opinion, though, neither right nor wrong.

The chrome trim around the windows looks classy. Once a signature of pricey sedans, it's lately been adopted by the cheaper Hyundai and Kia and such, making chrome trim not so unique.
But I still think it looks classy with the chrome instead, just my personal view though.
