What kind of wheel options were you looking at?
This is very important for your color scheme.

I think I would go with a chrome billet grille so as to make a subtle transition from the gray. I think black would look as if it was just "stuck" in there as an afterthought. Chrome would make a smooth transistion.

Also, instead of black accents, on the hood scoop etc., maybe you could consider a darker/lighter shade of gray. Again, would make it look subtle rather than "in your face" color change. Just an idea. I'm sure some of the Photoshop guys on here could whip up a pic.
