I like the oil tank. Way better than PVC.

Seat looks pretty good too (plenty of cushion for a soft ride). It would look better though if you could take out some of the foam on the front half, you don;t need it there anyway.

Maybe you can carefully remove the upholstery, trim the foam, & re-stretch the covering?
Not sure how it's done, but it should be doable with a little contact cement.

Depending on where you are, Harbor Freight is having a pretty good sale now.

I went down and picked up a few things, and I saw the items you listed for one heck of a price. Throw in their 2 year warranty for a few bucks more, and your set.

That oil tank looks nice on there. Is the other side cut out already? looks like it from the pic.

here is a pic of a bike with pvc tank I wanted to copy,but yours looks better for your style bike.
