Sorry my last post wasn't constructive, I should at least tell you what I'm thinking.
Personally, don't really think you can murder out a silver car, doesn't look right. The trim should maintain some metallic elements to tie it in with the color of the car, i.e. the fuji badge on the grill should be chrome. Also, the more pieces you black out, it becomes more noticeable that the black pieces are not the same shade as the trim already on the car. For example, the grill and the mirror trim are two different finishes.
The wheels are not the correct offset for the car, I think the stock ones would look better at this point.

I actually put the stock one back on for the winter, I didn't want the salt from the snow plows affecting the black rims... so I guess you got your wish for the winter at least.

+1 with what droogie said...it was a dumb idea to do all that stuff to a leased car in the first place...im thinkin that wheels and a drop would be alot easier to return to stock then what you have already done...technically...the car isnt yours...no car is..unless you pay it completely off and have no bank or lender holding your title

I Plasti-Dipped the spoiler and Emblems. I've actually JUST redone them, there was nothing wrong I just had peeled the black off but now decided to go back to the black.
