It's a personal thing really. Do what you think looks best.

Black would be best on a black car IMO.

www.jlevisw.com has a nice carbon fiber plate frame that would set it off. It is made by Vorsteiner and I heard you don't have to put the Vorsteiner sticker on it if you don't want to.

man so hard to decide but most likely I am going for:
1) Plain black plastic - clean and w/o the reflections.
2) Plain chrome black - clean with a little reflections, but will it pop out too much?

(-) Forget the silver chrome because its popping out too much, already have the silver grill, maybe too much silver....

I like a plate cover that you dont notice. I went with flat black, I have since painted the screws black as well. Not fan of chrome as it stick outs. Why do you want to highlight your license plate.
