By buying and fitting (and often spraying) four new wheel arch plastics plus the lights/reflectors. It's amazing how much money people will spend for a fairly trivial appearance change, particularly if they can tell themselves it's 'personalisation'. Though you have to wonder how 'personal' is something fitted to every US market car....

You seem to not like modifications, from another thread about black alloys;

"Black is good for the perfect parker and those who think their car should rule their lives, not the other way around. But should you ever touch a kerb, black will show badly."

Whassup with that?
