You've done a good job on it. Everything is clean and lines up, flows. I'm more into brighter colors or accents to darker colors rather than a complete black out, but it surely doesn't look bad. For instance, I prefer gunmetal to replace chrome on darker cars. It's a nice trade off of both dark and light so you don't have to go all dark. Just me though, car looks like it's going in the right direction. I like the way chrome compliments silver, just as gunmetal compliments black. Gives it a little subtle pop.
See now the only thing chrome on your car is the trim on the wheels and it stands out all by itself with the other chrome gone. Takes the focus off the car and puts it only on the wheels rather than having an overall flow. If the lips were gunmetal, it would not take so much focus off the rest of the car and it would flow better. Not that any of it looks bad as it is......

Thanks everyone. I would like to take about 5-8mm off the front but I'm a little concerned about rubbing. My next step is some electronics and engine mods.

Bought the wheels from butlertire.com
It's already been dropped. I'd like to go about 5mm more in the front, but we'll see.
