Thought about doing black chrome wheels with a cf hood and black chrome bumper inserts. All I know is that I wanna do it and I need help picking what color to do it in.

Eh I vote powdercoat the whole thing black, looks classy yet very unique. And the black tips would match well with a cobra bumper

I think I'm leaving the gt bumper just because it shows off the IRS and IRS tailpipes more. Lol I'm liking the black chrome right now with tips pc'd too.

My buddy has a similar set up on his STI- it looks absolutely sick. While I don't know how it'll look on a Mustang, it definitely is at the very least different. I'll see if I can find a picture of it.

Edit:
Here's one

Those are titanium exhaust tips. But good effort!!! I used to like those when I was into high end imports. It does look good on those cars. I'm leaning towards dark grey/black/black chrome I think. We'll see though.

Likely youll need to get some kind of paint polish or SOMETHING that could withstand the heat and clean the tailpipes like you do the exhaust tips to keep them looking good.
