Default body work timee

so i started this job a few weeks ago at this shop called long island customs, we do all custom body work and all that fun stuffon all kinds of cars and trucks. anyway, this means i can basically do anything i want to my car for free and all i have to buy is paint. trust me the first thing i thought of was wide body, but i dont have another car and i need this one pretty much daily.so my question is if you guys could do any body work for free, what would you do?? so far ive come up with a custom molded trunk and rear window lip. keep in mind i can do things like front end conversions, taillight swaps...(not saying i would)but pretty much anything.

A unique color with some minor smoothing would be what i would do.

I kinda feel like doing major modifications like body work just because you can is the sort of thing that, later on down the line, you'll look back and say, "Damn I wish I hadn't done that."

i pretty sure thats what im gunna end up doing. like i said so far all i came up with is the two lips, and also switching the front door handle. im just wondering if anyones got some good ideas that i can try out. but im not gunna just do everything to make it a custom. im usually about go before show but in this case makin the car look nice is no problem.
the other idea i was thinkin about is molded fender flares, but im not sure if i wanna make them myself from sheet metal cause thats a lot of body work, and we're busy there as is.
and for the color i love house of kolors burple, but one of the kids i chill with has his GTI painted that color. so im trying to find another shade of blue to throw on there.

I'd do a smoothed trunk, hood, and side molding, and then maybe a Böser hood.

boser hood, widebody the fenders, smooth the trunk, relocate the windshield washers, shave the sidemarkers off, and top it off with a sweet paint job

Do what ever makes you happy and makes you want to sleep in the garage with your car.
