I love your way of doing things, body and wheel color and flying under the radar, that is my preferred method and colors as well, my car is far more modded but from the outside there is not much difference than yours
I have been considering the hood as well and would paint it for sure if I got one, especially on our color car, the vents look nice but not really big enough to help a great deal so I was considering a none vented one then add much more serious vents to it. I have a sunroof as well, needed it for the dogs to stay cool when parked, if not for that I would not have it for sure!
I too want 15" street wheels but have found nothing in a tire and wheel combo I am ready to try on it, so far no 15x7 or 8's I have found will fit my over my BBK's and the 15x9's I use for the track are to wide for any tire I can run for my needs on street tires....
One word, watch those pads, I ran XP12 front and XP8 rear and burned up most of the 12s in two days at the track so the XP8's up front might not hold up well so watch them and get those fins on first if you can. I was on 225 RA1 tires and hit 130 or so every lap on the main straight and brake late, hard and trail brake on many corners so the XP8 might work out but you might have to try the XP10s if not.
Love the car, envious of the driveway, mine is having serious surface issues from salting it in the winter as a bit steep.....thanks for posting this great thread
