You don't want to go black with the tips as it would be too overwhelming, all that black. You've got the right idea thinking of going with chrome to bring out a nice contrasting look. If you're willing to invest in a couple tubs of elbow grease you might be able to get this look if it appeals to you.

Looks good. What polish did you use and what did you use to apply it?

Started with metal files, a coarse file and a finer file:

Files, sandpaper, steel wool and a couple tubs of elbow grease.

Looks really great.

Did you change out your front bumper to a GT3 version? wondering as at high speeds, you'll feel that wing and perhaps the already light front end will feel even lighter.

Cheers

I think Techart front spoiler works well with the wing
And I just ordered side skirts as well.
Now I'm done with exterior upgrade.
I will post pictures as soon as I put them on the car.

Looks great! I wouldn't be able to get onto my driveway without scraping that lip.
