Asking for some input on accents
 

I have a Whiteout FR-S with Gun Blue 57 DR's and i want to add some dark accents, i have decided to paint the calipers gunmetal but i'm wanting to add a few more things. Here is a list of what i'm considering, i can't get all of it or course so would like to concentrate on some of the lower cost items first.
What would you guys get first? I'm thinking the black chrome emblems and tailight overlays.

HT Auto front lip and rear spats

BlueBat tailight overlays in redout with light smoke tint

light smoke tint reverse lamp overlay
light tint headlight and turn signal overlays (not sure about this since i have the jdm clear corners.
something like this is catching my eye but undecided on color i think the lightest tint would be best, optic blue looks cool but may be ricey and gun smoke may be too dark. http://www.lamin-x.com/Scion-FR-S-13...rs-p/sc008.htm

Black chrome Grazio Toyota emblems (this seems like a natural match)

Stillen roof spoiler, left in black unpainted finish and rear lip spoiler painted to match.

I actually think your car looks perfect the way it is! :)

Have you considered a roof overlay? The carbon ones are a little pricey but there's another popular thread on here that has a few pics. It looks really good on this car, as it does on the new model Tc.

Thank you!!! but you should know i'm never done!

I have thought about it but just not sure. I think some of the CF door handles and possibly mirror caps? Fender garnishes are an option too waiting to see what Bat has for those on the BRZ style that i have.

Yeah i can't do it all for some time, i think the emblems and tailight overlays will be a good start along with the light smoked headlights. I want something like the Grazio door handles i think that would compliment very well.

Seriously though

@JoeBoxer I also have a whiteout with which I've done black accents (I custom painted my emblems, wrapped my roof in black carbon fiber, and smoked my taillights.) after dinner I'll put up a bunch of pictures to give you an idea if you'd like.

I suggested this in vubaru's thread as well, think about some colored lug nuts? I have the Kics R26 Neo-Chrome nuts on my lexus, I think it goes really well with gunmetal or dark wheels, and not too flashy -- subtle until you get up close to them.

And on one of my all time favorite wheels, ame fs01 correct? I have red muteki right now but am looking at the gunmetal/teal pmu ones although vubaru said he might not use those neos and would let me know.

good eye, yes the FS01s.

I wish they made those in 5x100, gianelle makes a copy but don't think they are 5x100 either. The Nismo juke has some that look identical too. I have a duplicolor black chrome kit gonna try on the stock emblems, I almost want to try to clearcoat the wheels but really need one to test before I try it on mine.

:popcorn:Story time:
One day about a year ago I was washing my Nissan Titan by my dad's house at a big spray and wash place. There were cars everywhere cleaning and drying and I just finished spraying my truck and had driven over to a covered area to dry it. I pull up next to an older guy with a beautiful black camry with tinted windows, this car didn't seem to have blemish anywhere. He was playing music while drying his car and I eventually struck up a conversation about his subwoofer setup. He told me this:
"You know, I was debating between the subwoofer and getting custom rims, but then I realized that I can only admire the rims from the outside, but I spend most of the time inside my car, where I can't even see them. So, instead of spending my money on rims I can't see, I spent it on a quality stereo that I get to enjoy every time I get in the car."
Not saying you should just pony up for and OEM audio 400 upgrade or anything, but it's interesting food for thought when considering upgrades on exterior vs. interior.

My redout tails with light smoke tint would look good :).
