Default Black Volks on My IS (pics)

A friend of mine who is a photographer (www.austincabot.com) and is all into automotive pictures took some nice pics yesterday, including rolling shots. Here are some of them.
Any suggestions?
Tell me what you think.

I really want to paint the housing of the headlights, but im not sure how its done yet. i know there needs to be some heating to unseal them. i wont do it until im sure. anybody sells these aftermarket?

Don't do black emblems, they look tacky IMO, especially on white cars. Black Chrome is ok.

Don't add anything black, your car looks great . Get some nicer mods, like LX-Mode grill.

19x8.5 +36
19x9.5 +37

I am rubbing on the back but not too bad. i had 2 people in the car yesterday and it didnt rub. It only rubs in big bumps or hard turns.
I have a fender roller and a heat gun, so i will wait for a warm day to roll them so my paint wont crack

I like the visors, I ahvent seen them in real life, im sure they make a difference. tell em something though, how do you install the visors, 3M tape? because i will be moving to a city were im 100% sure they will get ripped off if they are only with tape
