Spacers: wheel spacers -- installed between the wheel & the hub to push the wheels out and increase the track (on BMWs typically 10mm to 15mm). It's important to keep the wheel inside the fender. On a lowered car, adding spacers makes the car look more aggressive.

Color Matched Reflectors: American spec cars come with "ugly" orange reflectors on the side of the front bumper. Many of us paint those or replace them with painted reflectors for a cleaner look. We're too picky right? Example from the web below.
