suggestions on what to do next...

Pics of car are in the sig.

basically, it has 17x11 zr1's, 30th stripes hugger orange, orange z28 overlays and camaro inserts, and thats it as far as appearance. I just wanted to do something, but not sure what?? If you had my car, what would you do?? Just looking for some ideas here, thanks.

Definitely drop it. I would also look into a gfx package.

Relocate your front plate to your air dam, powder coat your rims white, paint your calipers orange, definately lower it, get an SS hood & spoiler. Yeah, thats a good start

What bigdreamz said... except I think you should remove the front plate forever. And put on black caliper decals .

I think you should learn how to drive it better first

But i agree with the ss hood, that would look very nice with a billit insert in the scoop. along with some trick gfx No white wheels though, even though i know they came with them they are gay IMO

bigdreamz has it man, definately get the SS hood/spoiler and lower it. I say stay away from the gfx package, lower it an 1 1/2 and you'll be looking better than any gfx package, plus less scrapage. Nice car, looks clean.

awesome, thats along the lines of what I'm thinking.

If I do the SS hood and SS spoiler, should I get the orange stripes for it(30th style) or should i do something else?? I think I'll keep the orange/white scheme though cuz i don't want the car to be too "plain" but nothing outrageous either. I may get them painted on, so should I paint my roof white and stripe it orange or leave it black?? I'm leaning towards keeping it black cuz I think it needs something to break it up, opinions on this??

As far as the wheels, i like my silver ones i don't like the white ones cuz it too much white IMO.

I like the orange caliper idea I think I'll do that.

As far as GFX and lowering, it's a daily and I scrape my tunnel brace already over speedbumps. It prob will look better lowered, but I'm not sure if it will make my car harder to drive and will affect launching for drag as well. Maybe I'll look into a small drop, maybe BMR or prokit but i think i may have problems over speedbumps(my exhaust hangs down low)

Thanks for the input so far, I got some ideas and am just thinking before I do anything.

If it was my car:

lower it
get firebird amber front side lenses and put them on the back
VFN fiberglass 2 inch cowl
shave the antenna and get a internal powered antenna
97+ tail lights if you don't have them already
take those orange badges off
leather seats
FRC's painted white with hugger orange stripes going down them
lose the front plate mount and paint the fog light area white
powder coat wheels white with orange bowties on the center caps

that's how I would do it

PS: I'll think of more probably later
