Somebody has contracted a chronic case of modification vettetosious. I have it as well. Seems to be contracted when obtaining one of these beautiful cars.

I like the way this looks. Breaks up all the black. Looking good!
I am going with the silver accent rings in the cluster and the letters on the airbag myself.

Did that when my wheels were done.
Which Frost King did you use?
Careful with the valve stem caps. If you have TPM, they have to be plastic or plastic lined.
