blackout only looks good on darker cars from what ive seen
on a white car I wouldnt do it and when I had a white wrx i didnt. I had bronze wheels and pink (lol) sti badges.

hahah so many mixed opinions, i think doing the roof black is too much and makes the car an OREO cookie. im going to get the matte grills w/mtech kit, from there ill see if if i should powder coat the 166's matte black. I cant afford another set of wheels so deciding to powdercoat will be an important one.

I tried not to over do it...
Alpine white with touches of carbon fiber. It gives it the edge it needs!!

My wheels and exhaust are powdercoated. I can't tell you how many compliments I get on both, all the time.

You do realize that the 550 LCI has black exhaust tips, right? 
Apparently BMW thinks this model E60 deserves a blacked out exhaust.
