Default What should I do next?

Well guys, I'm wondering what I should do next, cosmetically to my car..

Here's whats already done, interior and exterior:
SS and bowtie decals in gauges
Pontiac gauge bezel
LEDs in gauges
Footwell lighting
SLP Camaro SS dash plaque
Lowered
LED strip license place light
6000k HIDs, low beams and fogs
6LE black billet grille w/ SS emblem
Tint
Whistler mod
Personalized plate (if that counts)
C6 wheels

Already have CME, just not on the car yet. I've thought about fill-ins for the taillight panel, but not sure of what color. The etched ones maybe? Also want to paint (or powdercoat) calipers..also not sure of what color, probably gloss black. Anyway guys, opinions are welcome..

Pics:

Holy bright floorboard Batman!!!


I really can't think of anything else you could do other than the things you already shot down.

If it's your cup of tea, you could get the top of the SS scoop painted a dark silver or gunmetal. I really don't know what you call it and it may even be a decal but I've seen it quite a few times here.

haha, yeah night pics make it look brighter than they really are. but don't get me wrong, they definately light it up. they're 6" CCFL tubes. as for the hood, i think your talking about a manta stripe. i love the look on some cars here, but if i ever did it i'd have to do a decal... paint would be the equivalent of getting married to me, i'd have to know i love it first

edit: and i don't really mean to shoot things down, lol. i'm just too picky to try certain things i guess..

not exactly sure, i had planned to have it done a week or two ago. I was recently laid off though, so i'm thinking i should keep what i've got in the bank for now, and when a new job comes around, its goin on asap.

to be honest, im not sure how i should take that lol.

as far as new stereo, i know i should.. It has a replacement speaker package from Kee Audio, and the Novak Jack mod.. but no aftermarket head unit yet.
mainly because I want to go with an HUmount, and keep steering wheel controls, so i planned on waiting a bit and just doing it all at once. definately kicks me back on track though

oh, and thanks

Novak Jack mod? Whats that?

I think the idea of a gunmetal manta is the way to go! Also do some fill in's from emblem pros. Either get acrylic or the stainless steel. The stickers look cheap. I know because I have them.

1.c6 shift ****
2.Shift light in the vents
3.Switch Plate for the n20 would really be a nice touch to your interior.
4.Double Din HU
5.Flush mounted radar detector
6.Push Start Button (might seem useless to you, but appearance wise its awesome.)

Smoked turn signals on NBM are a great upgrade, other than that your car is Perfect IMO but I 'll leave that up to you.

basically adds an aux input to your stock head unit, good for ipods/mp3 players etc. i use it all the time..

1. I agree
2. I also agree
3. There's a lighted toggle switch in my ash tray, and a WOT switch. but the nitrous is off the car now anyway
4. possibly....it tempts me
5. DEFINATELY agree
6. Not something I ever really looked into until recently, but it looks cool
