The chrome around the windows helps a sedan have a coupe look on higher end cars. I thought about vinyl for it but I think it will look worse.

I agree with this 100% ESP with the challenged, higher beltline modern cars, the chrome helps. PLUS, if the sihouette shape of the window profile looks good, there's nothing wrong with accenting it with chrome. Black just makes it looks like any other car.
I can see BMW guys wanting black, bc the bmw chrome trim shape/thickness is nasty, as is the window profile--especially towards the C pillar.
The nice thing about the Lexus window bezels (Jeff's car) is that it looks 1 piece, and is smoothed out nicely. vs the bmw one, u can see all the breaks in the chrome for the door jams and such. Plus, it doesn't help that the chrome bezel on the top of the window is different in width from the sides of the window...and different once again for the bottom of the window. YUCK.

Jaguar, Maserati, Aston Martin, Rolls etc all use it in their designs. I agree it looks out of place on some cars but it is a standard auto design characteristic

I agree. It is on a luxo box, as I said chrome has no business being on any car that is suppose to be sporty.

Just the grille surround. I used plastidip - if done right looks decent and is amazingly durable to be on a front end that gets hit with rocks, sand and bad weather.
