Can't wait - that's an awesome color to work with!
You already got the hood, so check that off the list.
No need to mention those rims, I think you know those have to go.
I'd go with some custom embroidery, will nicely set off the interior for a low price.
Possibly clear corners with a halo-headlight conversion???
Most yank the rubber front out then fill the holes..
Didn't see the rear, but I'm assuming you have stock tips? If so, you need some chrome!
Brakes..you could get some cross-drilled/slotted from one of the sponsors. Paint the calipers while you're at it.
Those are what I'd do if I had your car. The color alone sets it off nicely!

hmm your car did look good with the halo's in one of your old posts... and someone did say to powdercoat your wheels.. (I like the powdercoated wheels.. he hee) I think it will look good with your z06's though.. and your other saved mods.. were you looking for a lower ride or a better ride or better performance than the pro-kit? there was a good link to all different spring rates of each manufacturer.. i'll look for it

Powder coating wheels I have been tossing around,the Zo6 wheels would be temp wheels
as for the pro kit,my old z never seemed to set just right,unless the ground was completely level the car seemed to lean to one side or the other,or the back looked lower then the front.
Thanks for the help

I went with sportlines because I saw how the pro kit looked on a friends car and it seemed stock. I am really happy with my springs.. a little stiff/bumpy for some but I love the improvement in handling and looks to boot!
