not thousands huh? those must be some connections you've got there! a high quality paint job (minus any connections) will go for at least 3-4k. Even if you're able to knock that down by 75%, that's still 1k that you could have thrown into an FMIC or exhaust. I'm not trying to be a hardass here.... I guess i just like silver too much to see someone change it. Also, knowing how many black msps that are available to buy, it just seems rather foolish to have not bought one of those if black was your thing. but as you said... impulse buy.
as far as leaving the wing on... of cousre you can do whatever the hell you want with your money and your car. but it seemed like you were looking for mod suggestions so I threw it out there. someone mentioned keeping the wing soley because it's what makes our cars unique. in reality, not having a wing would make an msp far more unique (not to mention, far better looking... at least on silver) besides, there are enough things on the car already (you know what they are so I'm not gonna list em) to more than make up for any loss in the unique dept losing the wing would provide.
having an orange msp (defintely one of the colors the wing looks good on) up here in CT sort've bums me out. the combination of the tires and color sort've make it a fair weather friend. it pains me to garage it up during the winter and drive around my slow, gas guzzlin, lumberin suv. if I had waited and gotten the silver... I'd essentially have (what I see as) a mini late gen Audi A4. Slap on some high perf all seasons and i wouldn't need that stupid suv. so... yeah, I guess i'm jealous! lol ironically, my car would fit in perfectly in the crazy hot houston climate. so let's trade ! lol j/k unless you want to! hahaha
