Blacked out Mazda 3

I have a 2008 black Mazda 3 sedan.
I'm wondering what else I could do to the exterior?
I painted my mazda emblems on front, back, and on my rims White. I powder coated my rims black and I'm about to limo out my tint, and black out tail lights.
Any more suggestions on interior/ exterior?

I suggest not blacking out the lens of your headlights and taillights because it's tacky and it's not a good look for the 3. You could instead open up the lights and black out the chrome, it looks way better. If you were already planning on doing that then dopeness. Other than what you already have listed, there isn't much else you can do with the exterior. You could black out the reflectors on the bumper but since your vehicle is already black it might look weird. Maybe paint the exhaust black with some engine paint or something.

Ebay sells replacements for the rear reflectors. They have LED bulbs in them and look nice with taillights. During the day they appear grey-ish. They have sets for both sedan and hatch. This is them in my hatch:

I am contemplating buying some of those headlight "eyebrows" and having them painted copper red mica to match my paint. Anyone seen these things personally? How do they look?

I think the tail lights being shaded looks great depending on what car and color! Click my page see my flat black Mazda 3

I want to get the eyebrows for my hatchback. They slim down the headlights and I think they look awesome. As for other ways to modify the outside we have body kits available, but I want to modify with custom trims and bumpers. I think the 3's can look pretty bad *** with a little money and imagination.
