Default Project De-Riceify Part TWO! Input needed...

So here's the original post.... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1150004

That shows what's been done so far...

I plan on doing the following things no matter what...

1 - Re-doing the interior - i.e. no monster tach, no more white gauges and white interior peices - all going back to stock
2 - Losing the Mirrors and washer nozzles...
3 - Si/EX sideskirts (from an EJ8/EM1)

Otherwise I need suggestions on the following things...

1 - I want to replace the mirrors with stock ones at this point unless there is something else that looks good and isn't a million dollars - ideas?
2 - Since the car was backed into in a parking lot 2 days after I bought it, it now needs a new front bumper. I was planning on replacing it with another stock bumper and cutting out the center section to fit the FMIC behind it (as it shows in the other thread) and then adding this lip...

I'd like some suggestions for other stuff tho.
3 - Headlights... I plan on using the headlights I have now (check the old thread for those) but painting the housings black because the chrome housings looks pretty gaudy to me, and also retrofit them with HIDs...
4 - Wheels - all 4 SI wheels on on the car now (99-00 style SI wheels) - would like to keep them and powdercoat them black or paint them black and leave the center caps and lugs polished for a nice look, just wondering which would be a better way, powder coating or polishing?

Other thoughts that have crossed my mind are a CF Trunk and Hood (not sure if I'd paint them or not) ... Just wondering if other people had any other cool ideas or thoughts. Easy on the flaming ... Just let me know what you think.
Thanks
