Question I Need Some Advice

So I just bought a ton of stuff for my car, and I just got all of it in. So i'm about to put them on, but the only thing that is stopping me is whether or not to powdercoat my rims. I've decided on either black, grey, or bronze. By the way my redline is silver and if anyone could give me their opinion I would really appreciate it.

Any thoughts on chroming the stockers? I was thinking about that this weekend. Not that I'm that concerned with the rims, but was just a thought.

Well I mean i'm not really worried about rims, it's just I like being different. And there's no sense in getting aftermarket rims if I can't find any that weigh less, so I want to powdercoat my stock ones.

Well I bought, the oem spoiler from Saturn, the K&N CAI, Apexi Boost Gauge, Sparco Carbon Fiber Pedals, Custom Car Grill, Radar Detector, Greddy Oil Catch Can, and i'm having a couple things powdercoated. Which I know its not alot but all in all it was like 1400.00. Which is alot for a 19 year old college kid paying for his own car too.

Where you at Jack? Anywhere near the NW burbs? I'm in Palatine. Haven't seen a silver one around yet, only at the auto show this year, turning right onto the LSD from McCormick Center.

Oil catch can? What's that for? I know the obvious answer, but where do you hook that up to?

I don't think you need to powder coat the rims. I think stock will look better than any of those 3 (but some people just don't want stock).
If I had to pick one it would be grey.

How about just having some accents put on the stock wheels. Just enough to set you apart, but not a whole wheel, get my drift?
