Default Which cosmetic mods?

I'm getting ready to order some cosmetic mods for the car and want some opinions. I'm going to be buying some deep dish black 18's with a polished lip and want to compliment them. I'm going to tint the front windows to match the back andI'm going to tint the tails and get some smoked side markers. The pillar inbetween the doors isn't really that dark anymore and I found these

and these

I want a clean look but i think the chromemight be a bit too much. Which of those 2 look better or should I just paint what I have now?
I also am thinking of puting the chrome rings around the gauges, what do you guys think?
What about Eyelids?
Last but not least, should I do the M3 lip on the trunk? I plan on an S4 bumper later too but I think these little mods will look good.

Skip both and just get them painted to match.

I wouldn't touch those pillars with a ten foot pole. Keep it the way it is, unless you plan on getting a CF hood then i'd say maybe to the CF pillars.

Yeah, I was iffy on the cf pillars too but I want to clean them up. I think tomorrow I'm going to try some Mothers bumper black on them to darken them back up.

how about some one piece headlights? they'll totally change the look of the front end of your car. if it was me I'd do those before any of that other stuff, except the wheels.

Lip spoiler is good!

Try the detail section because there is a shop that hangs out there and will answer Q's reguarding paint and exterior.

I think I might put a new system in it too. I like the Bose but the fronts are crackeling and I need more than just bass/treble adjustments, my Pioneer has alot more functions. 1 12" sub and I'm good.
