Cool Crashed, Time to upgrade appearance again (lots of help needed, tech and opinions!)

First- look at the pics
photos.yahoo.com/stansux
THE Z NOV and crash

I need a new front and rear bumper and the rear 1/4 was like that already so that needs to be repainted too .

Since everything but the pass door will be painted or blended, might as well do the whole thing. its 8 year old paint now.

Nothing else is stock so why should the color be.
What color do you guys think?
I am thinking a very lusterious metalic sunset orange kinda deal. Keep the black lights and black scoop and black grille. Make the rear valence black too (all very very shiney )

I have a metal grille and clear corners too(might keep orange corners with orange paint job.
I need a new tail light so maybe the carbon fiber azzelas(sp?)

Should I paint the top (around T-tops like the 97's?) or leave it black (i'm favoring black right now)

Should I get ghost flames (leaning away from that)

Another thing to point out- I have my choice of a $300 FLAT(no scoops, no nothing) carbon fiber hood or keeping my hood and using hoodpins (and getting it repaired)

If the car does get repained, its not getting gutted. just an exterior spray. Then black rims? Chrome Rims (very expensive and costing me unwanted weight)

You guys have any suggestions? ANYTHING at all!
This is not a daily driver
This is a trailor queen.
Things not shown in pics-
Black on Black Carbeau seats, no rear seats, cage going in, reverse indiglo guages, and plenty of walk to back up the talk


now some tech questions
Shaving the door handles- how hard/expensive is it?
How long does it take to sand and prime? easy to do?
Anything else I should watch for?
Thanks!

ALL OPINIONS ARE WELCOME

I think you got a good plan whith the SOM pain. That color I kinda like the top in black.Are you going to paint the CF hood or leave it unpainted?
If you don't paint it I would go with the CF one.Are you still thinking of powder coating your wheels black?

imo

un unpainted one looks very ricy... and IMO its kinda like trying to show off ya have a cf hood or somthing.

and its just plain dumb to have a hood not match, may as well just have a primer hood


brook
Ricey like CF tail lights and indiglo guages?

I kinda like the show off thing. After the new motor, everyone know its not stock

if u get the hood id get the altezzas too. everyone will probable call u a ricer and me for telling u this cause im not a well heard of person on here but it will match ur hood and even the rims. which in my opinion is good taste and not rice. i dont like black rims usually but on the right car, they are nice. and orange and black kick ***.
