I think it will look pretty good but you cant just throw them in. You have to make them look like they belong in there, but it doesnt matter with I think if you like them do it. I'm eventually gonna get some kind of racing seats for my car.

A real clean black car with some nice rims usually stands out.

Once you add decals and stripes or other stuff like that, it still stands out, but in a less cool way...

Whisker stripes don't go well on anything except vettes. (Refer to silver98formula's vette.) There are some F-bodies that can occasionally pull it off, but like SRJ said, they have to look like they belong.

Focus more on useful mods rather than appearance mods, you'll be happier in the long run.
