I wouldn't. I personally am going for a cleaner, smoother look to my car. That's why I removed the door badging and molding, color matched the quarter panel vents etc. Eventually I will shave the front and rear bumpers and try and blend more stuff to get an overall cleaner look.
I think when body panels and parts are different colors, it distracts the eye and the car doesn't flow well. But this is just my personal oppinion and taste in cars. To each his own.
I bet if our cars all came with black mirros, sail panels, and bumpers, people would be color matching them.
