What type of accents are you thinking of? Stripes? Logos? Wheels?
I have never really liked black accents on a car that is dark. They will get lost in the already dark color. I much prefer silver or gunmetal (or polished wheels).
Wheels & Badge stand out:
Gunmetal Logos:

I think black goes great with NBM, but since your already rocking chrome wheels I'd say just throw a set of SS overlays all around. I don't think black accents with chrome wheels would be a good combo, but if you switched to some black wheels go for it. If you just want a different look I'd say go with emblem pro's SS overlays but get them in black etched. Once I finally get my car as fast as I'd like it to be I plan on going murdered out, kinda like a rebirth/transformation to the next level. Thinking some gloss black 18" C5 DD's with emblem pro's new ONYX black mirror stainless overlays.

I bought my NBM TA with silver blackbird stripes, silver Trans Am logos, silver front Firebird logo, and silver rear center tail light overlay. Just like you I was thinking about switching to flat black or gloss black accents, but Im not sure how it would look..
Since that pic Ive had the hatch and side windows tinted with 35% tint. Ive also thought about picking up some clear side markers and throwing a couple coats of nightshade on them. That might look good. I dont really like flashy accents, I like the accents to more or less flow with the rest of the car.
I think if someone would photoshop the silver accents to black I could decide what direction I want to take. Same with the clear side markers..I'm not sure if Ill hate them or love them.
Old Blue do you have any more pics of your accents/emblems? Your car looks awesome. Also what kind of graphic is on the side of your hood? I want to ditch my silver blackbird stripes, but haven't decided what I want to put in their place.
the hood is Custom Pin Strip by Jim Boynotte in Cincy
