Exclamation what should i do?

so, i'm thinkin about my SS project that is never ending, and here is what i got goin on right now.
1. get my rims powder coated black
2. get rims powder coated black AND have nitto 555r's in +1 size
3. get intercooler powder coated black
4. get a set of 3B specialties blacked out dual halo projector headlights
5. black out my tailights, SS badges, & a sweet paint job for the stock body
6. all of the above

--- for the paintjob i just want to change it up, do the EVO air dam mod, (black) with a cowl swept back paintjob runnin from right below my upper grille fanning out wider as it goes over the hood, (black) continue it over the top, (black) and over the trunk, and all the way down to the rear lower fascia... (black)...
i will try to photoshop a picture and post it with this same bulletin, i have had all this in my head for a while now, and i would like to do it to the stock body parts that way when i get a full body kit, hood, and everything i can have it all painted up too whichever way i want, and in the winter time, put my stock body parts back on all painted up too... good thinkin huh? uh huh, exactly.

I thought it was a "option" list but then you said this is what I have going on. so I thought you were doing all of it...lol.

stock rims powder coated? meh not sure if I like them black.

blacking out your SS badges is cheap they are just vinyl's. tinting tails is cheap if you use night shade. headlights are fairly cheap...but i personally dont like them. even after all that you are probably at what 150-200? (not sure how much the lights are).

2. get rims powder coated black AND have nitto 555r's in +1 size

overall after doin some research and talkin around if i decide to do ALL THE ABOVE i'm lookin at a good 7 or 800 bucks...

I'm not trying to play games. I'm just wondering because you were so dead set on selling it like a week or two ago and now you want to do even more **** to it.

Slowest most expensive cobalt if you ask me. Hahaha

why would you paint the SS emblems? vinyl is a ton cheaper and wont chip off.

whats a sweet deal on powder coating? free? idk I dont like the stock rims painted...just dont look that good.

well, thanks for the input so far guys, i'm thinking now im just gonna go ahead and do it all. i mean, why not. the guy i'm gonna have do my paint scheme is a guy thats restoring my dads 69 gto judge, creative image is the name of the place, and i'm also gonna have him powder coat all the **** i want powder coated.. also now will be the valve cover, intake manifold, and my whole exhaust BLACK... i wanna keep my stock SS badges and just paint them up a nice solid black that wont chip, i wish i could have a pic of my car photoshopped to show you all how i want it to look, cuz i have a mental picture in my head about how SWWEEEET it will look... i got the idea off my buddies ford lightning, and also this guy on here that has a blue ss/sc with ram air hood and the fog light dams painted, evo mod, and the cowl painted, kinda just like how i want mine but i want it to start right under the upper grille, sweep up and widen out over the hood, go over the top, and down the trunk, and down to the very back/bottom.
