I dunno. With that paint scheme, it almost looks like you're going for a Carbon Fiber hood & trunk without the Carbon Fiber. I DO like the paint, though - if you used that matte finish on your entire car, it would look nice (IMO). Especially since it would match the wheels well.

Not a fan of the yellow tinted lights up front, either. Too loud, if that makes any sense.

You're going to get a lot of polarizing opinions on your car. But if you think it looks good, don't change a thing.

Yellow fogs are fine but yellow film on the headlights look like crap.
Not sure about that paint combo, looks cheap

very different, but as long as you're happy with your mods, that's all it matters.
