Talking Need advice on changing the appearance

I'm getting kind of tired at looking at my old 97 Z28 and I'd like to do something to it.
I would like to remove all the quarter panels and replace them with more flaired wheel covers. In other words, I'd like th quarter panels to mold out to cover bigger tires.
Also... I'd like to remove the silly little spoiler on the back and put the style rear wing they use in the Sports Car GT/Grand AM series races.
Last, I'd like to redesign the front to incorporate brake ducts molded into the front bumper.
I would also like to get a SLP Ultra Z hood.

My goal is to make this car look like a club race car. I want to turn this car into a weekend only car.
Anyone out there have some pics of know of some retailers that sell race style parts for these cars?

Of course I want it to look fast.
hmm... I want to replace the body with a full Carbon Fiber body, remove the drive shaft and replace with an aluminum one or a carbon fiber one, replace the suspension with lighter, tubular sections, replace the wheels with magnesium or lighter alloy wheels, get rid of the unnecessary junk in the car. Eventually put a supercharger on it and bore the engine to a 383.

*begin sarcasm*

Yeah.. what am I thinking... taking 600 lbs. off that car won't make it any faster, silly me!!! I mean... yeesh... I guess I should start making it go faster than the 159 mph clocked speed I've gotten it to... I guess I should make it go faster than 0-60 in about 5 second.... oh what was I thinking... these Z-28s are soooo sloow at stock performance... and to think all the mods I've been adding, I haven't even gained a single HP... i'm a completely stock Camaro.

*end sarcasm*
