Thanks guys!

@Z28_YOU_HO, any suggestions for lowering springs? I come from imports, where you just buy a set of coils and bam, car is 1 inch off the ground. I suppose that's different with these cars. Lol.

For lowering springs BMR and Strano seem to be the most popular from what i've seen. Gorgeous car btw!

The headlights are a bit hazy (could be fixed with some wet sanding and polishing), other than that it looks excellent! They stay really nice when spared the exposure of salty winters.

Exhaust/wheels/ride height are all a matter of personal preference, so nothing can really be said there. I never lower any of my 4th gens, it's just not my taste. As for the wheels, I too would put a set of 17" ZR1s on there, but the current wheels are actually pretty good looking for a base wheel - much better than the '00-'02 base Camaro wheel.

Strano springs.
Don't slam these cars if you want to handle, the suspension geometry goes to ****. Before springs shocks are WAY more important with these because they get such shitty ones from the factory (orange/black DeCarbon shocks). Throw them away and buy some Koni SA's all around. Those along with strano springs and strano swaybars and you will have a totally different machine.
