Looks good. I would keep it the way it is, I like the contrast.

the neon light was pretty simple.. its actually 2 smaller glow tubes which are mounted up and under the lip of each opening so it casts a blue glow down on the bumper openings giving it a nice accent @ night,.
3m adhesive tape for the tubes, a beer , some wiring to a toggle on the dash. done

i like it. i agree with amy though, the contrast looks nice. any more silver might be overkill.
