IMO- and its just my opinion- I think it is a negative. (Hence my joking comment about also painting wheels, tires, glass.)
I think it incrfeases the visual 'mass' of the car, and make it a big hulking blob of grey. (or whatever color) The use of black trim allows the designers to reduce visual mass, contour how you the the colors, etc. Like a house all one color without any painted trim. Or a home with landscaping consisting of 'everything grass' instead of swooping planting beds of bushes, etc.
Just my 2 cents. You should google then image search- prolly find a dozen.
GL!

Apologies. I didn’t realise colour coded wasn’t a term used in USA.
The M-Sport comes with the painted trims...the SE does not, so I wrongly figured people would understand what I meant. No big deal.
I can see why some people would appreciate the car either way tbh. I prefer all painted as it looks more “finished off” in my eyes, besides polish/wax makes the plastic look terrible if you accidentally go off the panel when cleaning it.
I have used Google already, but had no luck as of yet. Just figured this was the next best place to try...
