Silverstone Metallic which color Accesories?

I'd like to start modding my New-to-me Silverstone Metallic with CF roof E92. Does anyone have any pics of exterior mods (grill, gills, hood vents, reflectors) on this color? I tried searching and found a few, but I'd like to see how CF looks compared to Gloss black. I've all but counted out the flat black accessories, but maybe I've overlooked it? Initially, I am thinking that with the CF roof, CF mirror caps, gills, grill, and hood vents would look nice and consistent. I'm not a huge fan of the stock chrome. Thank you for any help.

You can find my car in my signature - I've played with some of the looks you are talking about. It should give you a good idea. Good luck.

SingleTrack has a nice E92 for you to check out.

Personally I'd skip the CF and Flat Black, just head straight for Gloss Black Hood Vents and Mirrors Covers with Edition Grills. This combination looks sharp, aggressive and classy.

My car isn't Silverstone but that's the combo that I went with, just to give you a idea...

+1 for gloss black
Matte black looks cheap in person, cf will fade.

I didn't realize the CF would fade. Is this true with the roof also?

Cheap CF will fade. Roof will not fade if you keep it protected with wax/sealant.

Here is mine.

Matte black front grills, side grills, wheels, window tint. Will soon add a matte black front spoiler, probably Vorsteiner.

Has anyone seen a pic of a SSII with black coated exhaust? I'm trying to see if that would look nice.

Also, am I correct in saying that there are both Black Chrome AND Glass Black Grills/Gills?

gloss black is the best, matte looks cheap and CF everywhere possible is tacky too imo
