-2 for the wing and the fuel door. I think tint, wheels,hids,and lowering are must for appearance everything else is subject to the individuals taste. Performance wise its up to your budget and what your plans for the car are. Btw what the hell is "ss exhaust"?

My list for CAMARO exterior appearance:
Grille first and foremost...
Rims (although powdercoated 10 spokes look great)
Berger Panel
Hood and Spoiler OR stripes OR both...
OPTIONAL but my favorites:
6LE Splitter
Blended CME w/Stainless Tips
BitViper Antenna or Power Antenna
Doesn't take a lot to stand out, just takes taste. Mike's car (sommer86) has quickly become one of my favorites with just some powdercoat, paint, splitter and cme:

Appearance
#1. Upgraded rims, 17"+
#2. SS Spoiler if you have a Z28
#3. SLP Grill (I absolutely hate the billet grills with the bowtie)
#4. Tint
#5. Rear inserted and Z28 overlays
#6. Painted Calipers
#7. Shorter Antenna (13" or 8" stock looking on, don't like the non-stock spiral ones)
#8. Sunoco or SS hood
#10000000000. Fuel Door (honestly, It reminds me of a mustang, leave the aluminum/chrome fuel doors to them)
Im not all about the bling, I try to make my car look like it could have come from the factory with the mods I have done.

I'd say the fuel door is a PLUS!!! BUT, I would remove the rivets (if possible; or conceal them) and paint it body color. Now that would make it perfect (for me 
)

Is off a S10....forget the year...I had to heat it for 45 min in an oven then bend it over a metal rod to shape it to the grill
Yeah I like it too..The company that made them went outta business..there are a few floating around the net hard to find..cost ~300 bucks

Appearance wise only, heres my break down:
Camaro's (98-02)
Berger Panel - Gloss or Matte are both great
Whistler Headlights - Black
SS Spoiler - If a non SS car, I like the LT1 SS spoiler.
Sunoco or SS hood
HID's at least 6000k
Stainless Rear Fill-In's
Tinted Corners
Aftermarket Grill - (SLP or RK Sport)
17" + wheels, at least 10" width on the back w/a minimum 295 series tire.
Lowered Ride Height
!Moldings
Tint
As long as the wheel choice is tasteful, that would make one wicked Camaro.
Trans Am/Formula (98-02)
A nice set of 3.5" outlet Dual-Tips (4 outlets total) (Mandatory T/A, Formula's can have dumps)
!Moldings
Tinted Corners (not signals, the 4 rectangular lights on the bumpers) / Clear Corners (tinted for dark colored cars, clear on light colored cars)
17"+ Wheels with at least a 10" wide rear with a minimum 295 series tire
WS6/WS9/Firehawk Style hood
HID's, at least 6000k
Lowered Ride Height
Stainless Rear Fill-Ins
Tint
The hood can be optional, some flat hood cars look awesome, but I think a hood is ideal. I also didn't put a CETA as a must have, but its very close to a must have.
Obviously the car needs to have paint that is in good condition and detailed well. Those 2 sets would make my ideal Camaro/Trans Am/Formula
You Camaro guys are lucky, the aftermarket has so many more options for you, just choose carefully, some are hideous!

Strip:
Street (Bone stock ride height, I need new pics of the car)
