    The door I got for my car has a black painted frame around the window, so I'm wondering if I should keep that and black out all the other frames on my doors or just get it professionally painted. I was thinking I'd use vinyl if I go with black otherwise I have an appointment tmrw to get the paint estimate. If anyone has pictures Of their rolla with black door window frame let me know :) I'll post pictures tmrw when I'm not on my phone.

    I'd just get the one door frame painted to match the rest of them... but then again it might look good to have all of them black. Won't know which looks better till someone has some pics of theirs

    most newer cars are completely painted the car color and than have a heavy duty vinyl placed around the door frame to make it black.

    Black FTW. looks cleaner with tinted windows. I think the Prizms/Corollas that dont have the black vinyl there look cheap. Yours doesnt look too bad with the silver on the door frame though only because your mirrors/handles match. My car has a whole black red theme going on lol

    I can post pictures later if you want.. Photobucket is being super slow and Im kinda in a rush.. Otherwise just check out the very few pics of the 8th gen showoff and you can see the difference.

    I say black for the middle part, but silver for the top/outside of the frame. If you aren't able or willing to do that then I say black all the way around, it doesn't stand out as much.

    Talked to my painter today I'm gonna just paint the frame silver and have him blend the door on both sides so it matches alot better an ge said he'd also paint my mirrors and rear bumper pics on Tuesday when it's done.
