It depends a lot on the car. I think for the VIP or classy look, the chrome works well. But for a sporty look, like your car is aiming for, shadow (blacked out) out trim is better.
I think it's a matter of preference. Nobody can decide for you what looks best. I personally like chrome because of the look I am going for (vip/classy). The previous owner of my car actually de-chromed the whole car, and I had to get all the parts to chrome it back lol.
I think the lower door trim is just plain useless and honestly tacky that it's just stuck to the side of the door. Rip it off. As for the window trim and such, I would say it depends on the wheels. The fact that you have polished wheels it looks consistent.
After having my roof wrapped black, I kind of wish I would have just had the shop do the trims now too. Plus I hate chrome in general. The machine face on our AMG wheels dries me nuts, I think I am going to coat them all black.
You can try photoshopping your images too so you know how it will look before you do it. If you don't know how, someone here might be able to help you. I tried it with my phone app but it's hard to photoshop your images (even the ones in the w204 picture thread) since you have too many reflection going.
