Default MY Accord, YOUR opinion...

Hey guys, these are the first pictures of my car that I've posted on this forum. Tell me what you think. Any ideas of thingsI can do to further customize it?
One quick question though, if you look at the side pictures of my car you might notice part of the chrome around the windows has been painted black. I bought the car used and whoever owned it before me started to black out everything. This is something that has always bothered me. In your opinion, would it be easier to finish blacking out all of the chrome, OR remove the black paint and restore the chromed look? Which one looks better? Thanks guys.

i think the chrome look is cool, but it's also over done... i think going back to chrome would put you back into the "clicque" group..
also, i think the chrome is also a paint..

but it looks nice

just tape off surrounding areas and paint it black and clear it. Also, you want to sand it first.

Looks good, how are the projector headlights treating you.

I say if it is easier to paint the rest black, then go for it. You can always add some other neat chrome accesories, but make sure they aren't cheapo looking. Well actually, those chrome door pillars may look nice. Ive seen them and I think they look good, ecspecially when there isnt much other chrome.

I don't like the way the projectorswork at night, but they do look good during the day. Do I need to remove the chrome trim to sand it down?
