hmm grill is a good idea, but I'm not a big fan of the chrome wheels. To each their own!

Like the grill. Don't like the wheels. But, again, whatever floats your boat. As long as you dig 'em, that's all that matters.

While I'm not a fan of chrome, on anything (just lazy). I think the car looks good and because of the extra chrome, is going to standout from the typical FRS/BRZ, since it seems most owners are avoiding it.

As was already mentioned, I think the chrome fender trim would really carry your theme through and provide that small detail that makes all the difference.

I also like the clear side-marker, although with a dark colored car, I would also consider a smoked lens. But again, to carry your theme through, the clear looks better.

The grill looks great. I've always been a fan of the GrillCraft style and functionality.

Another idea might be to paint your calipers, either red or black. I think that'll provide a little contrast around the hub since your wheels are an open style.

Add a little low and you've nailed it. Nicely done.

I actually like the way it looks. The chrome rims really show nicely against the black paint. I think the mesh in the grill looks pretty sharp to. Very nice looking car.

I feel bad saying this 'cause you probably just spent about $1,000 on those wheels, but I like the car, like the chrome, don't like the style of the wheels. They just look dated. There are much newer styles of chrome wheels that'd fit the car so much better, IMO. If you like 'em that's all that counts.
