Bought a new rat today, looking for suggestions.

I'm looking for suggestions on which way to head with this rat. My mind is running over several options but the only thing i'm pretty sure of is the bed. It has the wooden planks in it and I think i'm going to cover the wood with license plates and lay the metal strips back over them like stock. I've seen beds made of street signs and license plates but never in strips like the wood.

Anyway, what do you think, slam it and drive it, satin black, flat blue, something else? I'll probably recover the seat with a mexican blanket and I might suicide the doors if it doesn't get super expensive.

Here's the website, I didn't pay $1,200
