Default non painted vs painted moldings

Not used to making threads like this but I have a question. I have a crx jdm front end and planning to paint the whole car black. Was wondering if anybody has some good pics of rexes where the mouldings were also painted black and some of those that were left unpainted. Trying to decide whether or not to paint the moldings.
Thanks for the help

If the car's black, paint the moldings.. otherwise leave them alone.

I saw a red crx with painted moldings, and it looked sexy.

painted looks better:





but, it's all opinion. I think my car would look stupid with the moldings black still. like a horizontal racing stripe.
