Can't say I like what you've done to the car. The stock gunmetal rims that come on the 65's are my favorite rims ever. I think the rims you have currently look.....cheap. It's your car though. If you like what you've done, f*ck my comment.

Not many people like the black look but decided to give a try.

I think it looks great, the touch of chrome in the front dulls down the head lights so it looks balanced.. the black star rocks... id vote for the deletion of the side chrome... the wheels look great too, cant beat that powdercoat, got any pics of the car rolling?? .... enjoy!

I too love the black...if I had the time to spend on keeping black looking great, I'd have black :P
I like the chrome trim...otherwise the headlights would look odd just floating there on a black blob..unless you could somehow get dark headlights (kinda like the japanese headlights on my 4Runner with black on the inside)...the trim gives the car a shape so you can tell what it is
I agree with everyone else about blacking the side markers...I'm getting the clear ones for my silver 65, although i did see a pic of a silver 65 with no sidemarkers (aftermarket front bumper) and it looked really clean
As far as the rims, I think they look good...just enough to be sporty without being overdone

btw, these are also dropped a lil bit hehe just tempting you on dropping it some more
these colors are sampled directly from the pics you sent...but had to be adjusted a little due to the shadows and stuff
here's the red (kinda orange/red)...its stong on purpose cuz the shadows dulled out the color with just an overlay:
