I would black out the red portion of the tails and the little 3rd brake light. Maybe a berger panel, but I am not sure if it would be too much.
Car looks great man!

-SLP grill
-Whistler mod
-remove the side molding
-black out the ambers
-gloss black calipers with CAMARO decals or SS decals
-repaint the rims a gloss black to match the rest of the black on the car (ie. Sail panel and manta) sticking with one color black will tie everything together much nicer
-CME even tho thats pretty expensive
-1" drop like you already said
ur car looks great man i love the manta and the stripe you continued to the rear

Looks good, although I don't care for the rims that much because they are not glossy...
-New lugnuts! Please...lol
-Sequential taillights
-Clear or blackout DRLs
-Blackout rear sidemarkers
-SLP grille or paint the stock one you have gloss black or match to body color and keep the inserts
-Rear "CAMARO" inserts (black)
-New oil cap. (gloss black or polished)
-Strut tower brace (perhaps a custom one from 6LE)
-Polish the outside of the throttle body or get it powder coated
-Gloss black license plate frame
-and perhaps some polished fuse box covers from emblem pros. Those things are awesome because they still have the text
p.s. I like how you painted the rear of the headlights

Oh, and i've got an AMAZING place to paint the manta on...I painted mine on almost 2 years ago (2 yrs. in April) They charged me $450 to delete my nose emblem and blend in the line on the nose, and to re-shoot my hood, paint the Manta on (I was there for the striping) and to clear it all.

+1 on new lugnuts
Drop very bad as you said, that'll make a HUGE difference
Shoot the wheels in gloss clear to save masking the lips again, it'll match the center cap that way
!pinstripe. Pinstripes down the side just don't look right on these cars, the body is too rounded. Plus the silver is out of place with all the black and pewter
Berger
Smoked corners/bumper lights
Black TB/MAF ends
Then i'd call it a day
