Just a question along these lines here (and I dont mean to hijack the thread)... do you guys think cars look good all with all matching colors. For example, I have a black 545 and want to tint my windows. I also recently purchased black and white roundels... but would it look good to black out the grills, badges and put tinted or smoked markers, lights etc...? Or is that overkill? I thought I would get clear LED side markers for some contrast?
I know its a matter of opinion so I guess I am asking for opinions.
