What do you think of my car?

Some of you guys are being too critical. The wheels look fine. Replace the broken grill, polish the headlights with a headlight restoration kit from Meguiars or similar (forgot to say that earlier), paint the hood, and call it done. That'd be more than enough changes to make it a very nice car. Remove the CAMARO windshield banner if you don't like it. There's nothing wrong with your brakes so I don't see why you should change them at all.
If you want the car to look unique, you could get some white hockey stick stripe decals like the Berger/ZL1 cars had and paint the wheels white. Take advantage of not having a black roof like a Z28 and do a cool purple and white theme.

I've always thought the early C5 wagon wheels look better on Camaros than they do on Vettes. With that said, your car needs to be lowered... BAD!!! For the brake calipers, I would go with chrome paint. They won't actually look like chrome, but more like a really bright and vibrant silver.
It would also be a good idea to clean your interior before taking pictures of it. I really don't know what your intent was by posting dirty interior pictures, for I see nothing that makes it stand out from any other stock Camaro. I'm guessing this thread isn't exactly going the way you expected. Did you just recently buy this car or something? I also wouldn't let other's opinion be your basis on whether or not you should keep your car.
If you're looking for ways to jazz up your car a bit, I suggest you use the 'Search' button and peruse the many picture filled threads here to help give you some ideas on what's available in the aftermarket world for your car.

Keep the purple paint. That's a rare color. Get the hood painted, get rid of the "Camaro" windshield banner, get rid of the Corvette "wagon" wheels, maybe get an SS spoiler to match your hood. Lower the car and paint the calipers silver.

Just take a look at the appearance threads in the section as well as the multimedia section. This way you can get an idea of things others have done to their cars.
Take a look at the following purple threads as well:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/chevrolet...e-camaros.html
Lastly, if I took your car as it was sitting I'd do the following:
Remove the windshield banner
Full detail (inside and out)
Polish the haze out of the headlights
Paint the hood -- actually, I'd get rid of the SS hood and go back to stock. I've not been a fan of SS hoods on non-SS cars, especially since this one is a V6
Replace the front grille with a someone's old stock grille
Black "CAMARO" rear vinyl insert
Tint
Paint the calipers black or just clean them up
ZR1 wheels
Lower it
Those are all very affordable and will completely clean the aesthetics up. It's a V6, so don't even bother trying to make it faster. Keep it clean so you can sell it to some new sucker who thinks it's sweet -- and then get yourself a LS1
