debating on accessories for 330

I'm debating on the following accessories for my 330 ( And the dealer doesn't even have a car for me yet......They said by the end of nov...... it's the 15th.. and i doubt that they are gonig to be open and looking for a car for me on turkey day......)

I know i already want tinted windows....
Any ways.... since i got the nav/lev its comes with Chromes....I saw an ES300 with the stock chromes... and wasn't thrilled... (but it was in gold) should i get the non chromes or Chromes?

Also a pinstrip? the car is blue onyx.....? any suggestions. Do you think it needs one....

I saw a blue ES300 with the gold emblems with a gold pinstrip....and i thought it looked tacky.. (hope i'm not affending anyone) Do you think the black pearl emblems would look good on my blue? Is there enough contrast? or stick to the silver ones?
thanks!

This is just me but I'd go with the polished kind. Chrome wheels require more maintenance and care, though they look really nice.

I'm liking the pinstripe on our ES's; makes our cars look "less naked", and a pinstripe on the Blue Onyx body color looks really good

Stick with the silver emblems. I've noticed that the Blue Onyx is a darker shade of blue, and so the black emblems will probably blend in unfavorably to the body color. If it were Spectra Blue Mica like in the GS, I'd say go with the black pearl badges!
