I normally like the chrome trim on light colored cars, but with your scheme (black lip spoiler) I'd say delete the chrome. I would put at least 30% tint on the windows, just my opinion. Actually on your car I'd do 15%

Hi out of curiosity why would go for 15 instead of 30.

With the car as you have it, including the dark roof I think 30% would be too light. I think 5% would be too dark for practical use, so 15-18% is the sweet spot. Just my opinion of course. I'm sure it would look great either way.
