You can do it, but I like the chrome trim.
If you want to get rid of it, that's fine. However, there is chrome trim around the windows, which complements and balances the look of the car. Having only the windows with a chrome accent may look unbalanced...

My engine cover is TP, like the car. Aren't they all color-coordinated with the cars?
(or maybe mine is just some version of silver?)
