I like the Black outline.
I'd almost go as far as doing the skirts, hood and spoiler too.

For some reason while most CJ have the B pillars in a matt or satin black, my black CJ that part is gloss black like the duco. So I painted just the B pillars matt black up to the top of the glass line. Kinda had to as the previous owner had somehow put a dent in the front door B pillar covering so needed to take care of that.
Don't know how painting the whole window frame black will look.
Isn't it weird how not long ago the crazy was to color code everything like door handles, mirrors, bumpers when car manufactures were keeping them black or unpainted. Now we're blacking out those same parts!

Just wrap them black. Most modern cars are wrapped tgere anyway.
If you don't like it it's easy to remove

Or Plasti-Dip, which could be easier?

Assuming you're at least half competent at both, I'd believe wrapping a part like that would be easier.

Thanks all, sounds like everyone likes the black, myself likewise! Could plactidip them for starters I suppose, to check it out

Bought some flat black 3M vinyl wrap from SuperCheap. Decided to use a recoverable to normal method.
In case i decide to return to original later.
