Paint, looks good like that.

The Base coupes are the best looking of the bunch for this reason. If I ever get the desire my SRT might get painted also.

Ever since I saw my first crossfire, I didn't like the silver windshield trim. Now that I own one, it's grown on me. It's a toss up, but I say paint it.

I've made this suggestion before, so I'll post it again. Has anybody ever painted the windshild trim but left about 3/4 of an inch closest to the windshield silver?
Just a thought.
Photo shop anybody?

Thanks AIRSCAPE, for the Photoshop, nice job.
I think if I had a dark colored car, I would seriously consider painting mine like that. Since mine's white, I don't think it would show up that much.

Paint it to match the rest of the car, mine is being done today!

That silver trim looks so goofy on our cars, I do not know what they were thinking when they did that.

Around how much does that cost? I was thinking about getting mine done along with the door handles and the rest of it.

Mine is only going to be around $50 but that is because he already had the paint mixed and on hand.

I would say $100 max to get it done.
