In my opinion it seems that you've murdered the car out and i think that you should leave it how it is. Car looks great by the way

If you do, add some sort of a lip stripe or something to "break up the monotony"

Ya know, i used to love chrome lips, but now that i look at it, it really makes the rims look a whole inch smaller than reality, just my opinion. i'm not saying that blacking out those rims will make them look their full size either... but hm... tough choice

I like it as is, but if do, you should black out the window trim also.
