Have the stripes painted a little farther apart in the front, like the pics of the one on the first page, and I would lose that badge on the left side of the berger panel. Keep chrome wheels.. don't go anything else. This is just my opinion, other than that, you're golden. ..Or.. orange..

Hey guys...Peeler is sand bagging......his car looks three times better in person. These pictures are good...but these pics don't do it justice.
Need some pics in the late afternoon so you can see how shiny it is.
Oh wait.......I guess you'll have to wait until you get the Bambi mods fixed..lol

X2!! 
..Oh wait, whistler the lights
VHT rears and maybe shave rear side markers?
Wanted some LT1 tails, but ended up just doing a single coat of VHT on the LS1's minus the backup lights... just an idea.

Since your painting it, I would do a few small things to it, like:
shave the door locks (why keep em with keyless entry and you can always go through the back if you need to)
shave the antenna (if you don't listen to the radio, OR just use a hidden one from somebody like autoloc)
shave the side marker lights like already mentioned
CME for sure or maybe the DE valence
Also, since your gonna change the paint up a little, GET EXTRA. I can't begin to tell you how important that is. Matching a color like that is impossible, especially if you change it up a little. Make sure you have enough to do some touchups and if your gonna go with the DH front bumper, enough for that as well as maybe enough to paint the berger if you ever change your mind on it. Better to have it than to regret it later on when you can't get the paint to match.

here's how i look at it: If i bought the car from you, i would lose the stripes and polish the headlights (or get new ones) and then put in a 454LSX...i've seen me do it before 
If i were YOU, i'd still fix the headlights and consider either a different stripe or modifying your current style, or just ditching them all together. SOM doesn't need accents or visual enhancements, the color does the work for you. Those 35th stripes, although good looking by themselves, detract from the cars beauty.
Even if you do nothing to it at all, it looks sweet. don't think for a second there's anything wrong with your car.
