Congrat's on the new ride, ...
I believe the color appears to be BGC, or Blue-Green Chameleon.
Someone else will have to give ya the color-code number.
Mod's usually start with a new aftermarket lid, Sub-frame connectors, Cat-back, stall, headers & Y-pipe, & then it just builds from there, ..., it never ends, ...

for the hood check out the slp h.o ram air hood. its really mean looking. check out a few sponsors like the ws6store for hoods and what not. make sure you also check out the sponsors/group purchase towards the bottom of the page and maybe you can save a few $$ on certain parts. good luck and congrats

i'd pick up a used ls6 intake off the for sale section here they can usually be had for 300-350 shipped. i don't see the fast 90 as being worth as much as it is in a street car, and plus i heard those really only did better up at very high RPM's not sure how much truth is behind that. pacesetters coated LT's can be had very cheap, and uncoated they are like 200. and you being an auto one of my first mods would also be a stall. look on ebay and the used parts area here for your lid, intake, and maybe some rims, you can find stock ws6 chrome wheels quite often.
