mm... not feeling the black too much, I personally would stick with silver paint. But if you like it, then its fine. I'm not saying its bad, just not feeling it. Sorry buddy, no hard feelings. The drop will make it look sweet. If you got some money why not put in some HRE's? Do your rims shine more in person?

I think the amber/clear corner lights are just fine. True, its always good to be unique. which reminds me of a shirt i saw, it showed a person with spiked hair and the punker clothes. it said "You are unique, just like everybody else." just caught my attention. Anyways, looks good so far and your plans so far seem within reach and not too extravagent. Good luck!

WTF?!?! Honestly they make your rims look tiny, and they look like steelies, and the silver center caps look different.... Personally I would only do black rims if the spokes were thiner.

FYI. I've seen stock mono's painted black, and it was ken's car So I know what they look like in person.
