Removing Chrome

I have a 2025 CRV and I think it is a great color, I was thinking of customizing my crv, (Carney as my girls call it, and you can't unname a car). Anyway, I want to try and replace the gaudy cheap "chrome" plastic from around the windows, the chrome strip across the grille and the Honda logo and CRV lettering on the back with a matte black finish. I have heard of Chrome deletes which is a vinyl wrapping, hut how good will that last. Since I am planning on keeping Carney for many years to come, do they actually make those parts in a matte black finish. I think it will make the car look even better and will make the color of the car stand out more.
Any thoughts
Part numbers for them if you have them
Thank you

As another possible option..
I used vvivid automotive vinyl to do mine.
A 1‘x5’ roll does one side of the vehicles window trim ($18 per roll)
I cut 4 (approximately 2”x5’ strips) for each window section, that left an approximate 3.5/4”x5’ strip for the wide, curved area at the rear.
I did the rear section in 2 pieces as the curve was too much for the material to stretch, at least with my inexperienced abilities.
Was my first attempt using this product so I do have quite a few mistakes but the dark color hides most of them unless you are really looking closely.
I have also seen precut vinyl kits on eBay/Amazon for like $50-60.
