I would paint the moldings, unpainted moldings makes these cars look older IMO.

I've been trying to decide this for myself on my white car. I was thinking of doing it reverse..painting the moldings white and making the "supra" and "turbo" gray.

86.5-88 unpainted 89-92 painted. You gotta love the way the earlier moldings look

unpainted 91/92 trim FTW...

as you can see the trim is unpainted, but color-matched..

good luck finding some though, but I'd say paint it...

Unpainted all the way. Trying to make our cars look newer or more modern is just lame...

I painted my 89+ trim metallic black on my supra which is red. I dont have any pictures right now but it looks really good IMO

Custom wood grain.

Hint: the 89+ mouldings are all painted

Do what you like, after all thats what really matters.

As far as aesthetics, there is no doubt that color matched molding allows the lines of the car to flow smoother. Unmatched molding seems to split the car into two halves, in the process drawing attention to it, the molding.

As for me, I prefer that the molding has a very small voice ^^
