Just don't black out the rims too...that's going a little overboard. Unless you stay with a polished rim or something to offset all the black.

I say dont do the blacked out tail lights. That just is crossing the line of good looking and ridiculous looking. Without the tail light covers it will look awesome. Maybe put a light tint on the tail lights with the film stuff, but I wouldnt make it very dark at all.

I would do the whistler mod to the front headlights or the smoked whistler headlights, I wouldnt do the blackout covers. Are you going to do black wheels or chrome wheels?

Maybe use VHT niteshades and just a light coat to give them a tinted affect.
