Default Whats left to do?

I've been dying to do something appearance wise to my car but can't decide what? I'm really thinking of buying the stainless emblems and rear-fill ins from dragonz28 (muffinbuster). I think the side emblems and fill-ins would really bring out the wheels more. What does everyone think? I'm also open to other things I can do.

Le me also say I do not want to do side molding delete...yet. And I will get a WS6 hood once funds allow and I will fill in where the front plate is. Also will paint the handles back to body color. I say this because I know most will recommend these changes for my car. Anyway here are a couple pics of how it sits now, sorry for not having a good side shot.

If it were me I would ditch the side emblems all together. I would also add the body colored side mirrors to the paint list as well. Otherwise sounds like you're on the right track!

Can you fit the new style ta bumper on there? If so do that and get a new hood(if you like the lok of them). Maybe black out your 3rd brake light, clear corners. About all I can think of man, but it does LOOK CLEAN!! Love the ride.

Save your money for the LT1 WS6 hood ... and then it'll be pretty much perfect IMO.

Maybe also black out the front and rear bumper lights to tie in with the black.

EDIT: and if you state doesn't require a front plate, then ditch the front bracket and have the holes filled in.

in addition to what a lot of others have mentioned with black treatment to the lights have you considered powdercoating your wheel spokes black? That sure would be different.

It was a car show in our mall and I was in it! Also thanks for all the nice comments from everyone!

I want a WS6 hood but the money is such a huge issue for that. For me its like WS6 hood or nitrous? By the time I pay for the hood, shipping, and paint I could have bought a wet nitrous kit with all the goodies! Thats why I'm leaning towards stainless emblems...kinda different for me and cheap. I just don't know if they will look good with what I got. Also after winter I plan to buy the drilled and slotted rotors from WS6 store, and at that time I will repaint the calipers and put vinyl decals on them.
