And my car keeps getting darker...

Tinted my corner lights and windows. 35% for the fronts and the rest 20%. I'm running out of things to make black, lol. I guess I'll just have to do black badges.

You could tint everything.. lol headlight, taillight... etc
Paint your exhaust pipes if you must have all black stealth effect..
Other than that very clean

I like it. Your car is clean. Keep it simple.

I think painting the badges black is a good idea. Just beware the front badge will get chipped up, so be sure to use a clear coat.

I think some headlight/taillight tint and eyelids would look killer

instead of black emblem, i think it would be cleaner if you debadge it and tint your lights.

contact endless rotary (he is a forum vendor) i believe.

car looks really clean man. you need a debadge for sure though. i think you should give painting your exhaust a try. i've never seen that before and i think it could look really nice.

Rishie from Endless Rotaries on the forum is where you can get the wheels. Great guy and great pricing.

I was thinking about getting the exhaust coated with high temp ceramic paint. Figure it couldn't hurt and it would cut down on the oven effect my trunk gets. Honestly if I went through the trouble of debadging I'd end up swapping the front bumper for an Autoexe SE-02. I really don't want to get in to aero parts with this car. The cost of filling in holes and repainting isn't worth it to me.

Tint looks good, wheels look good. I think clear corners would look better. but it's all personal preference. Nice car man.

i really don't know what else you can do black on your car dude. i think your car is almost blacked out. don't change your oil for like 30,000 mile and it will be black, drive the car and wear all black . paint the exaust black, or what about black rotors and last paint the calipers black. just an ideal
