I'd actually go through the extra expense to swap out chromey old for the LCI darkened headlights, black out the rear spoiler uprights and remove the orange bits. Job done.

Enjoy!
I'm actually talking with IND about getting a set of FI-Rs with Acid Orange accents, so it looks factory-ish but isn't. I did swap the factory wing for the Vorsteiner one *for street use*, primarily because I feel it visually flows with the lines better and I'm < 120mph on the street.

The chrome on the headlights bothers me; I'm on the hunt for a clean set of used ones to ship off to @oneeightynyc to have them blacked out. They did a set about 18 months back that they refinished in black with acid orange and I think it'd fit the GTS well.

The acid orange has grown on me - it's distinct and helps identify the car. I plan on blacking out the uprights; I've already swapped the badging with blacked-out versions from IND.
