I think a lot of us are just trying to minimize the number of different finishes on the car. The fake metal brushed paint BS aside, you've got black trim, chrome grilles, gunmetal (or whatever) wheels and the color of the car itself in addition to the mirrors being something different all together. The path of least resistance / expense seems to be M Performance grilles, black or color matched mirrors, leave everything else alone and you're good to go.
