I like the black trim for your setup, but either work well!

I personally would go with the chrome... I think the chrome will highlight the details in your car at night time. I don't like chrome all over the vehicle like I am some sort of spot light, but a little chrome doesn't hurt.

Black works. I would also black out the door handles, rear trunk spoiler and the sharkfin for true hottness.

I like the chrome
The car is too dark with the black trim.
