I think you need to contain your excitement and separate your questions into separate threads. You asked like 5 things here.

- Actual black headlights, or the chrome rings around them?

- I'm not sure about a black scoop, they have carbon fiber ones. You could take it off and Plasti Dip it

- I would Plasti Dip the gas cap and door handles.

- To get more sound out of the turbo you could do an intake.

Appreciate quick replies.. Not just the ring around it, but actual black housing. I saw some on ebay and some OEM on another site.

Well they have factory black Xenon's, but those only fit 2011+. Your only option is aftermarket black ones.
