Default Black 2001 Camaro SS Appearance mod help!!!

I just picked up a 2001 Black Camaro SS and where i love it, the thing appears to be pretty boring in the looks department. Any ideas on anything I can do like decals, vinyls or wheels choices i can add to give the car a more menacing look on the streets. Not big on hoods or wings. I dig the stock body but would just like a lil more pizazz. Thanks guys.

pming

however, look into aftermarket front grilles, tinting your windows, hids, perhaps look into lowering the car, a bitviper antenna, tinting your tails, not really sure what else to suggest without seein some pics

Post some pics of your car so we can see what we're dealing with.

SLP grille, stainless steel rear inserts, tint (5% rear/20% sides), HIDs (6000k) and slammed with 18" C5Z06 chrome wheels

Check out the SLP grilles they always look good or go to 6ledesigns.com for billet grilles with ss or bowtie emblems. Also on 6ledesisgns they have the stock headlights with black background brand new for $250 they make the car look a lot better.I painted my calipers black and applied red CAMARO decals on them, that looked amazing.

Default thanks

Thanks for the advice so far. To answer the question, the car is super bone stock. Everything original down to the damn airbox. Shes cherry which is the only reason i picked her up. So basically its a blank canvas..

A stock 4th gen camaro has a bit of a 4x4 look so as said above LOWERING would be a must.

Take the side molding off. Thats free...
As others have said, get a nice grill to suit your tastes, and im really digging the silver 35th stripes idea. And lower, with sick wheels. As bob said, fikse fm5s will be the absolute top choice, but since a package usually starts around 5 grand i say dump the money elsewhere and into performance. I'd rather go fast then spend all my money on 5000 dollar wheels...

For a black I would suggest staying as subtle as possible as well, maybe throw on some staggered american racing torque thrust III's in chrome and get some chrome inserts (rear panel, emblems and SS hood grill) and call it a day and throw the rest into performance with some nice chrome dual exhaust tips and paint those ugly stock rust color calipers w.e. your accent color is going to be.

Satin black 35th anniversary stripes or manta
satin black rear filler panel
machined aluminum c5 deep dish wheels (unless your car has the 10 spokes, then leave them alone)
tint
lowering
whistler mod to headlights

I like the subtle things....
