Question Looking for custimization advice from Silver Car owners

I love the color of my car and i love the power of the 350. I just got her today. had 250. I love black because it is so much easier to find accessories that look good on black cars. With sivler it seems as if the stock chrome items look perfect. Which in turn doesnt leave much room for customizing. What are some of the things that Silver car owners have done to their IS that they want to share. Please dont flame me if this is a retarded topic, i am new to the forums. I have

ibach pro springs
isp wheels
front lip spoiler and rear as well.
thinking of doing some light mods maybe? what do you guys think

thanks

Silver car => brushed aluminum wheels.

Add a drop and you'll look great!

Here is an example:

I have chrome stock wheels, and I paid an extra 15 grand so that it would be "Tungsten Pearl" instead of "silver".

I'm kinda in the same boat. I wanna get some new wheels for my IS and I like the way black chrome looks. Problem is I haven't found black chrome rims on anything but black cars and I'm a little worried about the way it might turn out. Pics or advice?
