Paint your own spark plug cover.
Polish the fuel rail and cover.
Add colored silicon hoses.
Get an extra intercooler pipe across the top of the motor and polish it as well.
I am doing pretty much the same thing on mine.
Volvomotorsports.com used to sell an aluminum one that came in a couple of different colors.

I have a bench grinder so I went to Harbor Freight and bought a buffing wheel and polish. Then I sanded the coating off, then sanded again with 600 then started buffing. Came out pretty good. Same thing for the RIP, it was powder coated when I got it. Both are dirty right now so they dont shine as good as when I did it.
Tech, that head shield looks chrome...nice job.

Yes, you can. I installed my strut brace on with the car jacked up, and it's the IPD Stage III one that you install, and then twist the bar to tighten it up. The whole front of the car creaks as I tighten it, it's crazy.
Here's mine as of this last weekend:
