IMHO, no.

Leave as-is to go with window trim, grill trim, polished wheel lips, etc.

No they are s2k tips, they do stick out a little bit, but not too bad. Im planning on hopefully putting a rear gfx lip on to make them a little more flush. Im not sure if they will fit tho.

Ive seen a few members on here with s2k tips also, but has anyone put them on with a gfx rear?

You got the lights and the wheels already, so black pearl would be warranted...

Why do everyone has too much "black and white/silver" combo on their cars?

not feeling it IMO.
