Got the window trim/trunk chrome wrapped in gloss black. However, the quality seems to be lacking. Not sure what the going rate is for window trim wrap, but I paid 250 and not happy with the result. There are marks on the vinyl where heat was applied that looks like stretch marks, bubbles on the inside of the door trim, and the edge of the trim is not fully covered exposing the stock trim. I might take it back to the shop for a redo.

Tires sit flush to the f/r fenders. No visible sign of rubbing but hair away from front tires touching the fender when steering wheel is turned all the way to the sides.
Just to update, I noticed slight rubbing during spirited driving going over dips/bumps. At stock height, you should be fine.

Mod update:

Added the chrome seat controls thanks to the ebay link that was provided on this thread. It was really simple to install. Probably will add the amg door pins now to complete the mod.

I was not planning on getting the wheels just yet, but I got the wheels as a birthday gift.

TSW Bathurst gloss gunmetal 19x8.5 et32 F 19x9.5 et39 R with stock tires. These wheels are 'rotary forged' and super light. Weight should be around 20-21lbs compared to 28-30lbs stock. I can immediately feel the difference in acceleration (more effortless due to lightness). And the best part, these wheels are pretty cheap considering HRE/ADV1's will run you 1K+.

And finally, I decided to replace the standing star with a flat hood emblem.
