The best thing to do is a lsx swap!

Here a build thread of this members Colorado he has done a lot of appearance things to his truck so it might give you some ideas.

What I was going to say.

Wheels, lower it, hood, maybe a 4.8/5.3 swap.

Recently picked up a colorado myself. 2012 I5 auto. Peppy little thing!
Terrible photo only one I have at the moment.

Silver xtreme wheels and the change to synthetic oil with a wix filter will be the only changes I make.

I have enjoyed mine to this point. In fact made a 550 mile round trip this morning to pick up a new pup and was impressed how it drove/cruised out on the open highway. Couldn't be happier with the little DD.

Enjoy yours!

may be you could just start with wheels first and see how it goes. these things dont really need lots of work to look good.
