Where to put chrome trim?

I have a long strip of chrome trim with 3m adhesive, but cannot decide where to place it...if at all. Any ideas, pics or comments?

I must be the only one who thinks it might look nice on a black Fit, and maybe some other colors (white, silver, maybe red). A little chrome trim on the pillars, and rear hatch, on the body-side moldings, maybe even the front grill.
I'm thinking it might give it a slight Benz-type luxury look.

I was originally thinking about putting it on the sides of my ss fit sport right below the doors, but never got around to it and then it lost its appeal.

I would opt not to do it at all. Just my personal pref.

I have a very thin piece of trim on the back of my 2007 Fit with a Mugen plate on it - gives the back a little more
detail. Just depends on what look you are going for.

I second the motion. The fit's lines are clean! Debadge it if anything. Put chrome strips (probably really plastic) on GM products where they belong.
