Definitely last one.

Although the blacked out wheels need to be gloss black to work with silver for me.
Red calipers and black wheels are classic. Leaving the headlights and tails they way they are would also be a good idea. JMO.

Good luck!

Hey look. It's TK Maxx instead of TJ Maxx. Just kind of funny.

Considering you car is silver I'm not personally a fan of the blacked out look. I'm more of a chrome guy. I like to tint my cars as well, although I go for 35% to avoid issue with being pulled over. Also easier to see at night.

The very reason I picked this car was the quietness.

I think it's very nice that this car is enjoyed by the young and the old alike, and every one of us can customize it to fit his taste.
I also think black wheels are weak and tinted lights are so 90s.
But I'm a geezer, how would I know what kids like these days!

Just curious, why does your back wheel look pushed forward?

As to answer your question, leave the lights alone. The lights on these cars and nice and clean looking. Although I do wish I could find a way to get rid of the amber reflectors in the headlights. Tint and calipers painted would like nice. I would keep the wheels stock.
