1.install grille(slp/wings west painted)
2.paint mirrors orange
3.new rims with some lip in the rears.
4.paint needs to be claybared and waxed
5.windows need cleaning,front window has some very very little overspray

Looks clean man. Grille will definitely help. Some 17x11's in the rear would look really good also if you're keeping the ZR1's.

I love the HO. Definitely one of my favorite SS colors. I think the mirrors look good black too, it goes with the rims and window tint. Overall looks like a very nice car, and with a grille and OEM headlights it will look perfect. I can't stand Halo's!

Nice purchase and I agree with all the changes you listed in the 1st post. Mainly those headlights.

Favorite combination on any LS1 car, save for white seats.

I really hope you get a set of CCW Classics or iForged Aeros. Both with black centers and a polished lip.

This color has been one of my Camaro favorites. I would keep it just as it is and add the grill. I also vote don't paint the side mirrors. That is one thing I always loved about 98-99 Camaros. Your car looks great!
