The tails I'd leave alone, and I was too lazy to google, so count that as I'd leave the headlights alone too. But a yellow car with black hard top/ windshield frame and black wheels looks very nice. Probably the best you could do with yellow.
Of course since I have a black car, I figure that anything I can make black will just make it look blacker. I do have dark grey wheels though. If they ever start looking like ****, I'll go ahead and spray paint them black (probably cost about $15 though, 1 can o primer, 2 cans of black) if I can afford it.

The MSM style headlight look would be fine, I think that is universally not "rice"
Who has done it and had it last?
I read where a few had done it but after a year the paint was burnt/flaking in a few spots. Can't have that. Perhaps they needed some flat black high heat paint ?
Vinyl the windshield frame ?? Then if its a lasting look get a pro to paint it.

I read where a few had done it (which piece?) but after a year the paint was burnt/flaking in a few spots. Can't have that. Perhaps they needed some flat black high heat paint ?

I found it during the day on a different computer and cannot find it now. It mentioned that some paint had come off after about a year. I fear that as I would not like to have to crack the lense open more than once. improper paint and prep may have been the issue in that particular case.
tails:
While only having the car be black and yellow may look good I do see the dangerous downfalls of not having properly visible taillights.
I could put in L-E-DEEZ tails yo and have super bright litez......
