It doesn't really make sense to use the best available material to make a piece of armor look coole. It should add a little extra armor to the piece of equipment. Not a ton, maybe half an armor point for every trimmed piece of armor? Since its not a massive amount of mithril, it shouldn't add a ton, just a little, that way you get bang for your buck (awesome looking armor with a little extra benefit). It's only trimmed piece of armour, how would trimming armor give it more protection Because you are adding a superior material to the edges and joints of a piece of equipment. You're not adding a lot, but you ARE adding it to some of the weak points. That's why I suggested only a little bit more protection, and only on the mithril, since the other two WOULD be purely aesthetic. But since mithril is so good, adding even a little to the weak points in armor would add some protection.
