I'd be more inclined to get the touch up paint out and give those front extensions a bit of attention first before even thinking about clear indicators.

Secondly, those rims suck, honestly they really do - chrome lip or not. Why? The XR looks too overdone on the black and those rims detract from the look of it.

I love the xr front but I can't stand that bonnet and grill, my preference if it was my car would to see if I could put a fairmont bonnet and grill with the xr bumper or even a series 2 bonnet and grill. That's what make us unique, we all got different tastes.
Another thing I love on black cars other than chrome is red placed in certain areas. Maybe a red lip on those wheels instead of chrome and also red calipers would look pretty cool but it all depends on what kind of look YOU want and not what others think.
