Nice - looks like a clean job. I do prefer the silver, though.

What product did you use?

Maybe go further and also dip the door handles and mirror housings for a "Crafted Line" look.
Factory cars were White but the look was distinctive.

Go even further and dip your headlamps and taillights. Gotta give it the extra murder look

On a silver car the silver wheels matched better.
On a white, black or dark gray car it would have been a different story.
To each their own, at least plastidip is removable.

Maybe if you painted the calipers in an Fsport blue, I think it would better compliment the wheels and make it more sporty.
