Get some Eibach Sportlines. I have them on my car and love it. Don't worry about it being too low. I have 315's in the rear and it all works out great.

Does your car ever scrape the ground going over bumps/driveways? I had the Eibach pro kit on my LT1 which doesn't lower the car nearly as much as the sportlines and I was always having to be careful on the road so I didn't scrape up my car.

For a different look at a car you can look at the pics in my sig (02 SS). It is lowered with BMR 1" lowering springs and new factory shocks (this was done by the previous owner, I will most likely replace the shocks with Bilstein HD shocks which are $300 for all 4)

Your car looks great-congratulations. If it were me I would probably start by replacing the grill. I have it on my car and feel it looks much better then the one thats currently on your car.

I'd put the glossy black and blue bowtie grille on it. Like the ZL-1 or whatever. Get the scoop painted black. Black Halo headlights. That would look sharp.

something small but effective: rear camaro fill in, I have a friend with an 00 pewter SS and that's the first thing he did:
