yea sorry guys for the low res pics, i'll have some high res pics hopefully this weekend when the weathers a lot nicer, it's pretty shitty right now.

but yes indeed my rims aren't gloss, in actuality they're the same color as the car. but i'm keeping the headlights how they are, i'm not really down with all the blacking out lights deal.

that looks like an unpainted shine piece, so therefore plastic looking.

i was hoping for more of a satin looking black, like the pics of other cars posted.

probably looks way better in person though.

the wheels don't really flow well at all IMHO - too dark looking, but that's more a personal preference type thing

I dont know, it looks like body kits that come in that black finish. Reminds of a well done primer job. Its different I give you that. Just throwing out my opinon no bashing intended.
