Default Vinyl wrap or paint front window trim?

I am contemplating either vinyl wrapping in gloss black or body match painting the front windshield window trim on my Black Roadster. Any of you guys with black roadsters done this?? I like the idea of wrapping better since I could remove it if I didn't like it. However as **** as I am about the color not matching I am unsure what it look like....seen some matte black and carbon wrapped ones which I do not care for. any of you guys done this?? I need to see some pics of the finished product. New top will be on Tue due to the Warranty Issue so I am waiting until its installed to do this.

HAHA!


I here you I think I still may try the wrap first to see, will be tinting the windows 20% (including the front windshield 70%) so I wanted the entire top of the car to be "black" I will post pics of the finished product.
