I’m in the same camp — I just had the windows tinted and the chrome surround really adds flair between the Daytona Gray & the tinted windows.

I'm camping out with you guys too, the black window trim does look best on the lighter colored cars.

I'm a fan of the alumi-optic mirrors. I almost ordered the black optic package until I found out that the mirrors became body colored (like the "lesser" A version). To each his/her own though. I'm just saying I'm a +1 in wanting aluminum-look mirror covers, I do like the black (vs the gray) grill though.

Not to **** anyone off, but it could only be worse if a black car was blacked out and super dark tint applied AND it had a black leather interior. Gawd that would be psychologically confining ("get me the hell out of here!"). But again, if you like or love it, I support your choice. I speak only for myself in saying "kill me now" if I had to ride or drive a black on black on black vehicle that wasn't the Presidential limo. I'm thinking I could tolerate the confining colors (or lack thereof) of the limo due to its gargantuan size. In an S4 or S5 though -- thumbs down to being in a cave.

I remain: "Often wrong, never uncertain."

Yup. I used this product:
Amazon Amazon

It took me several hours of trial and error, but I eventually got some results I liked.
