I remember seeing a WSTO 135 coupe done in a really clever way (IMO). It was black like yours and had some really subtle different colour/texture black highlights .. I'll see if I can find a pic to show what I mean.
In proper light it looks better than the photos show - that camera is not that good.
Because if of the angles of the car, the colour is usually broken up well. Having said that, I do like the BMW Perf side skirts.

However, its at night when it really looks badass! When they don't see much ... (exxcept headlights of course).

It's a subtle change and I don't think it takes away from the "murdered out" look, but it breaks up the black and gives the car's lines a chance to work.

I'd couple it with a "time attack" ring on your wheels in the exact same colour.

To nightshade your lights, you would just need a can of Night Shades, some sandpaper (sandpaper you can wet), and a clear coat.

Might cost you $60.

You should do a proper photoshoot with someone and see how the car looks. Pro photographers make things look even more epic.

See how much they end up selling for. $130 isn't that much. come on man.. it's the little details that separates extraordinary from the extra-ordinary.
