Default Time for some Exterior Mods - Need Advice

So with tax time approaching and my annual bonus incentive coming up, this is the usual time of year I get to do some modding. I've already decided the major mod is going to be a set of custom headlights from 180* here in the tri-state area. A few locals have them and I've been lusting after a pair since I saw them in person.

Reason for posting is I want to do a few other minor mods to go along with the headlights. I've always been pretty clueless when it comes to exterior mods so I'm coming here for some suggestions. Little background on my tastes first: Car is my daily and my goals exterior wise aren't crazy. No body kits, staying away from aftermarket rims for now (unless I find a good deal on pre-15 Nismo rims), not a fan of carbon fiber. The car currently has a F.I. CBE, tinted side/rear windows, and the roof/fangs/section above exhaust tips are all blacked out.

I really like the black satin emblems from the Z Store however if I were to get the front/back/370z emblem it would be near $250. Thats a lot for some emblems! I did some research into plasti dip but it's not for me. Anyone know of any alternates to these?

Motorsport! OEM Front Emblem, Black Pearl, 03-15 350Z-370Z - The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z 260Z 280Z 280ZX 300ZX ( Z31 Z32 ) 350Z 370Z Parts

Second, I was thinking about possibly powdercoating the Sport Rays. I know I'm going with black accents but I'd rather do something different with the wheels. Thinking of having them coated similar to the 40th Anniversary wheels. My research into the paint code for the wheels has given me 2 answers. It's either KAV or it's never been released by Nissan and it's just going to have to be matched.

Feel free to make any other suggestions. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
