I guess I have bad taste?
I actually like chrome trim better than shadowline trim.
Also most people try to match color of their foglight with headlight, hmm, I like xenon headlight and halogen foglight with amber signal light.

Not at all. Your money, your car.

Shadowlined my car this weekend with a $5 tin of Matt Black acrylic spray paint. Just started a thread about it:

I know times are tough now but I would recommend either to vinyl or get the real deal. I did the electrical tape a year ago and it lasted me for 4 months. No one could tell the difference until it started to peel.

I wouldn't recommend painting the trim because it may chip.
