Yes! Get rid of every "add-on" piece of chrome, and black out the rest of the chrome! In my opinion, don't tint the headlights, but a light cherry tint for the taillights looks nice. The 3-piece spoiler is a nice idea, too. I think a body color one would look nicer than a black one. I see that you have a CF roof spoiler. In that case, a CF 3-piece spoiler would be a nice addition.
Also, can't go wrong with HRE's! But those things are expensive! The Avant Garde wheels give the car a nice, aggressive OEM look.

Thanks! I don't have any personal experience with visibility and tinted headlights, but I've read that it does reduce light output. But then again, you have bi-xenons, so as long as you don't tint them too dark, I don't think it'll be a problem.

Everybody has different opinions on CF, so that's really your call. In my opinion, I would stay away from CF unless I was going all out or plan to, such as front lip, diffuser, etc.

You should really get rid of every piece of chrome you put on that car. No offense but it looks like you spent too much time at the autozone

Haha, no offense taken. That will be done xmas break for me. The taillights will be smoked, and the trim will be blacked out. The headlight chrome will be removed and the inside will be black. The drl chrome is going to be black and the drl is going to be tinted yellow

Looks good, keep up the progess. Hoepfully I will see you around town.
You can get the springs installed whenever. It would be "smart" to wait until after winter so there is less salt and more clearance if it snows. But then again, next winter will be the same, so why not enjoy it while you can!

Yup, I'm kind of partial to the black + white "tuxedo theme" myself:
I'm planning on wrapping the roof with gloss black, and also doing the quad exhaust mod in the coming weeks. I am debating on just sticking with the stock plastic C63 diffuser (as I'm personally not a fan of CF), or painting the C63 diffuser white (to match the car color). Does anyone know if the stock diffuser can be painted and have a finish to look like the car? Perhaps bondo first? Or simply just paint + clear?

Great mods so far. I would tell you to just get the springs installed now. If you were really worried about when the snow came you would just go out and buy coilovers so that you would be able to put your ride height back to stock.
