By trim do you mean ground effects? I've never seen gray trim. But black rims and birds sounds like it would look pretty sick.

I, personally don't think it would look right. I'd leave the silver on it and put some polished rims on it.

I think you should go with a solid, dark blue color. Then go with the black wheels and a chrome lip. Seen that combination done a few times and can't say i have seen one that i don't like. but that's just my

Welcome to the board. I'd stick with blue and silver,and a silver bird for the hood instead of black.that way there's no to many colors going on.
