Bead blasting the frame and slide, then Cera-Koating certain parts black will result in a durable, good looking two-tone, no-glare finish.

Mainly accurizing, like a match bbl and bushing, tighten slide to frame fit, an action job, checkering the front strap, serrating the top and rear of the slide, fitting a magwell, and replacing the front sight with a fiber optic or gold bead one.
Pretty sure all Kimbers have a match barrel and bushing. All of mine shoot as well as or better than any 1911 I have owned, and that includes a Les Baer and a Dan Wesson. Of course, it's your money, so spend it as you will.

An action job, checkering, mag well, front sight...not rocket science. If you were in my area, I could recommend a good local 1911 guy. Find one in your area and support your local economy. And save yourself some money shipping.
