What better way to personalize it than make it a fast and more enjoyable to drive? The body kit does look nice though. But it would look a little out of place with out an intercooler up front.

I go for option C manual + FI truck motor, as you can peice together a turbo and 5 speed for that cost.

I dont like people knowing who I am, and even though my car doesnt stick out, people still know me, or should I say my car.

You'll stick out like a sore thumb with that kit you want from extrememe dimentions, unless you aren't gonna do the s15 headlight conversion and somehow mold that S15 kit onto your car. My priorities from your list with your car would be: engine/manual conv. then paintjob, then bodykit if you have everything else done like suspention , IHE, etc. But it seems like you realy want people to tell you to get the bodykit and paintjob so go ahead and get it.
