Default Hyper since you have the blingy mirrors...

you could always get the cf mirrors (ebay) to go with the other cf and matt black bits then get g-metal?

Default Paint the door blades

The door blades don't match anything else on the car and make it look unfinished. Paint 'em black to match the rest of the painted surfaces on the car.

Tint your windows nice and dark.

Get some nice Hyper Silver wheels

Lower the car

Default Well they actually sorta match the unpainted rear valence and CF splitter and license holder

I know what I am saying is a stretch, but that theory is the glue holding it together for me. lol I have heard painting the doorblades is expensive, I guess if I could find someone to do it for cheap I will.

My windows are tinted with a 35% metallic, don't want to go any darker. I just purchased sport shocks and springs, don't want anything lower since this is a daily driver, I live in the NorthEast, roads and driveways around here are not so great. And the wife drives the car during the week. And I didn't want the spend the $$$ on coilovers especially if I won't be slamming car or tracking it.

Default Nah, don't think I want to change my chrome pieces to CF. My first impulse was hyper silver

but I saw that thread of the guys black S4 with gunmetals and loved it. He has chrome mirrors and chrome around the windows also and I thought it looked good.

Default H.Silver definitely! Your setup looks great, Silver w/ set it off sporty/lux. Gunmetal just doesn't

match anything on the car... I think GM works better if the car is completely blacked out, or contrast w/ a all-white or silver car.
