What should I do next on my car?(give me some ideas...)

alright there it is...
1st, gonna be a little budget, not lookng to blow $1k on the car.(got plans for hidden nitrous, clutch, maybe a few other unnoticeable mods, for a sleeper look)
2nd, I have a set fo clear corners to put on, just not sure what color or kind of bulbs I want to put in.
3rd, I have a set fo 93-96 lights to install will get around to it later(I really hate amber and NBM)
4th I like my wheels though some don't, so I will keep them but will look at suggestions.
Lowering has come to my mind, but not really into it that much, car has a warranty, little worried about voiding it.
Next I was thinking, red Camaro inserts, for the rear fill in and the front grill. I was also thinking of maybe getting a set of 3800 V6 decals in red(same as rear insert) to put on the sides and in the rear like the z28 emblems but be in a similar font and size of "Formula" writing that is factory on formula badges.
Any other thoughts?

at first I was wondering why the hell your alternator was mounted on top and then I read it was a v6. wow. personally, I wouldnt go with red for your accent color. Maybe silver or white. Clean up the engine a bit with wire looms, get some rims, and maybe an RS body kit if you are into body kits.

As for the motor I am looking to keep it as stock looking as possible. I am going for the sleepr look X10 under the hood.

Money is tight... I ent on a 7 day cruise racked up quite a bill, and didn't get paid vacation... plus looks like I need a clutch...
T-tops will be coming along slowly as I find good deals on ebay for parts

i'd go w/ silver decals, they will match the clear corners a little better than red. i would also remove the front grill. i just don't like the dull black from the stock grill, and i kinda think the front end looks better w/o it on you could also get a z28 take-off exhaust to fill out your rear end a little more. the little turn down doesn't look very good coming out the back. beside that i wouldn't do too much to it appearance wise. i think you're like me when it comes to having a "clean" looking car.
you could also get a sick sixx decal for your rear window too.

Billet grill and silver emblems. You could just paint the ones you have, they don't have to be the billet. Then if you want to advertize it as a 6 you could do your 3800 V6 with the 3800 in silver and the V6 in red. A little import-ish but I think it would look clean. At least it doesn't say "Type R"!

After I get the clutch in, I am really thinking of juicing it that was one thing holding me back, I didn't think the clutch woudl hold up to my abuse and the juice... hopefully that will help a little with the underpoweredness... but I kinda want to keep the option open to make the car fully stock again.
as for the turndown and front grill... I am hoping to go for a super sleeper look. REally hide the juice, look stock under the hood, single turndown pipe, etc... and maybe squeeze low 13s, maaaaaaaybe high 12s.
Only grill I have thought about getting was a black billet grill.

Actually off hand visually what do you guys think of....
-silver inserts, front and rear...
-clear corners
-93-96 tailights
Maybe:
-3800 v6 decals, in normal badging spots
-Black billet grill(I like it but more of a money thing)
Maybe lowering the car a bit too...
Performance plans...
-spec stage 2 clutch
-install slp takeoff lsd(I already have it not installed, will be done with clutch)
-ls1 driveshaft
-hidden nitrous setup(thinking of the nozzle coming up from teh bottom and cutting hole in the air filter.
Looking ot have a Stock, clean looking Camaro that will catch your eye a little but not be far off form stock, and be low profile.
ohh yeah and a few more coats of zaino....
