I say paint the chrome trim around the windows gloss black, smoke the chrome headlight bezels. A little more tint on the front windows.

I really think painting the rear wing and trunk bar would look good, though. Maybe paint the chrome emblems black chrome for some classy badass'ness.

The hood thing...ain't bad, really...but the two white lines bust it up too much. I think if the black followed the hood lines down to the grille, without the two breaks in the middle, that could look cool!

I am going to Vinyl the trim around the windows
as for the headlights when I do my retro fit is when I will paint it
I am going to re-do my tints 15% all around
well for the rest
you'll just have to wait and see what happens by the end of the month

Yea I felt like that when I got it done lol
As for the wheels, changing those is the last thing on my list
& I think blacking out the handles would be alil to much
even if it is black chrome
& Thanks alot
