The B pillar abuse around the world needs to be stopped. Pillars should be left stock.

DJVolume I think what is lacking is a clear theme and that is what DJ is saying. For instance you did a black roof and I believe you have a white/black leather GS. Since u added the chrome trim, I would do chrome rims.

If you want a sportier theme, then I would go with carbon sides and maybe silver or gunmetal wheels to match.

I have no issues with the headlights, it is a protective film and GS 450hs come with a slight tint.

I think that would be nice....again, its what YOU want, you will drive the car and look at it. Trust me, you can get those wheels/carbon and some won't like it. You can be stock, some won't like it. You can have custom everything, some won't like it.

Do what makes YOU happy and do it tastefully.

i think changing the antenna to black would make a big difference, along with removing the chrome pillars. i recently got rid of my chrome pillars finally and had the window trim wrapped in black. it made a huge difference with the tinted windows.
