Granted I am a little biased since I sell them but I honestly thing a black splitter would look AMAZING on your car! Here it is (it is the black thing under the front of the bumper, it makes the car more stable at high speeds and helps cool it more at lower and higher speeds) on my friend Mike's car (which is a red and black theme)...



and here it is on a Trans-Am...

ceta, lowered, tinted windows, ram air hood, and maybe some black rims would make the car look sweet

lowered, get rid of the molding, tinted windows, red calipers, ws-6 hood, CETA, black out the corner lenses and keep it clean .... just having a clean lt1 is pretty unique in itself

maybe paint bottom of spoiler but not top. if you want a black/red theme, maybe black rims. idk ive never liked black b pillar on birds nor stripes on a non ws6 ls1 so harder to get black theme going, as far as my opinions.

If you paint the spoiler, paint the bottom side like this guys, it looks a whole lot better

^^That does look pretty good, seems like everyone else has got me covered..except the door handles need to be body color. To me its something that you dont want to stand out I like the wheels(what are they?), but maybe a black powdercoated center would look good...to go with your theme.

I agree with what everybody is saying as far as keeping it clean and simple. Also you should get get some clear corner lights with the black housing to finish things up front.
