If you're referring to the headlights I'm personally not a fan.

Or the decal along the side?

Not a fan.

But, those wheels - beautiful, the color contrasts very nicely with the black.

And the deck on the wall - also awesome.

Thanks, sorry yes. The decal (tried to replicate a Singer style colour combination to match the calipers and wheels ) and also the Yellow Headlight tints ( which are legal here, but rare to see on the roads)

I wasn't sure at 1st, the look is growing on me a smidgen.

Your car. Nothing wrong with personalizing it if you like it. I’d probably stay away from chrome spinners. But that’s just me.

You could put a tow hook on the back end, then someone could drive, hold a rope and ride that deck...

I used to do that with buses in Vancouver.

Yeah, I'm not going there or slamming it either. This look is still quite subtle and does a nice job breaking up all that black as a nice 2021 change IMO

I like your combination of black, gray, and yellow. I would not do the yellow headlights, but that is just my personal hangup on having tint on headlights.

I like it, Mine is a little lighter tint. Its boring to have same stock look that everyone else has. Its nice to change it up a little. Just my two cents.

Great. Did you think of doing the washer jets ?. I might do them yellow or perhaps black tomorrow. I might just leave them silver also, but nothing external to match the silver with.

I do not mind the yellow tint on the lights, very Euro.
