Welcome to the obsession
My first mod...was two 7inch monitors with all the bells and whistles.
Ok, no bells or whistles, but they do just about everything.

My first mod was the stubby antenna, as well. I also added some stickers that, of course, added like 10 whp.

My first mod was a see through Union Jack decal on the sunroof, its perforated and blocks 25% of sunlight. It looks solid from the top and is barely visible from inside the car.

Before I left the dealer parking lot, I had my blacked out scuttles and headlight bezels installed and a stubby. The dealer had already installed the black grill bezel.

SEE- WHEELS and TIRES, they are somewhere in the dictionary after MODIFICATION's, and technically they do count.

^ I'm wondering the same thing. You should deff stick with the chrome look on your car. It brings out the chocolate color better

My first mod will be blacking out the chrome, stubby antenna and blackening the windows, and that's before I drive it off the lot!

Yeah! Shiny good!!

I also think it depends on the color. I put a John Cooper Works black grill trim on my MINI because it make the grill look bigger. The headlight surrounds, I left chrome, because they make the headlights look bigger.
