if you like the shadowline trim, why not vinyl cover it black?

its very cheap and one of the best mods for your buck and i dont think window trim would look good painted the color of your car. its supposed to contrast imo

I like the idea you've come up with OP ......... the thing you might want to do is (if you end up having it painted) go with a shade darker than the car for the contrast. Otherwise there won't be any defined trim appearance ........ unless that's the look you're wanting.
Great idea ........ better with some contrast.

vinyl... hmm... tempting. Thanks for the thoughts... need to look for some pics... I like the idea of a shade darker grey...
1. Black gloss? 2. Black matte? 3. Darker grey then Space Grey... 4. Vinyl... 5. just leave it alone...lol ~Frost

I think Matte Black would go well with your car.

If you go to the trouble of painting it then go with the darker grey. If you wrap it then shoot for the matte black .. Looking forward the results in whatever you choose to do!
