Default berlina black with metallic black bits

Hi all,

As per title, I have a 99 S2k in berlina black and have been wondering whether it'd be nice to have different grades of black on the car. I was initially thinking of getting cf bits and pieces but I also like to be different rather than buying the stuff off the shelves ( and the damn thing are very expensive) and you gotta spend time to find the parts.
I happen to bump into a black motorcycle and noticed the different shade of black it had, shiny black, matt black and metallic black and it looked very nice.

So I was planning to paint bits such as front lip, fuel lid, rear diffuser, door handles and mirrors in metallic black. This might compliment the berlina black I have.

Your thoughts anyone ? anyone seen anything like that ?

I'd recommend the Black Chrome emblems from HTG:

will sure be different but i think there will be too many contrasting panels for it to look good.

The Black Chrome emblems is also where I got the idea from.
I'll probably try with the front lip first as it is currently unpainted

I reckon any of the widebody set ups with this paint would be a dream.
