Eh, I wouldn't do it Craig, it sets off the grilles nicely. So unless you're doing the grilles too, then nah, don't bother. I don't like my chrome trimmed grilles for the simple fact that really there isn't anything else chrome on the car, the window trim is more stainless looking than chrome, so the grilles really aren't accenting anything.
