Why? You could use that money to buy another pair of headphones.
If you really want to dress up your iPod, do it yourself. All that stuff is cheap. You can have any wire you want cryo treated some place like here or here. There's probably a cryo facility in the big city closest to you, as well. Treatment for a cable might be $2 or $3. Here is a slab of zebra wood going for $5.50. The rest of the stuff isn't expensive, either. Poke around the DIY Forum to find what you like and all the advice you need to make it. Don't expect it to change the sound much, but it will look nice.
Then take the extra money and put it towards the headphones, amp or source you really want. And if DIY interests you, I recommend building an amp, too. Anyone can build an amp and you'll save hundreds on labor.
