Well so far things that are for sure going to happen:
Delete rear antenna on quarter
Cover front nose emblem
Tint front corners, rear markers and tailights(everything except reverse light)
New Rear Stainless CAMARO Inserts
6LE headlights
SLP Bowtie Grill

Any other ideas?

you will be far happier doing this with 93-97 tail lights. When you tint the lights like this, the 98+ lights really don't flow well with the car at all, especially not when compared to the earlier lights, which flow perfectly with the lines of the back (the center panel and the hatch/spoiler). if you're gonna do anything with the 98+ lights, I'd say tint the whole thing, or my personal favorite, redded-out!






here, so you can see the difference between the 98+ and the 93-97 with the same style tint. Not the best pics, or paint work, but you get the idea..

This car gave me the idea. I like the LT1 tails however, they look cheap as hell when lit up at night time IMO.

Yeah your right. I think with my car being black, doing the tinted tails would look like crap. I guess I might just leave them as is, or maybe red them out. I like the LT1 tails, but when lit up, they remind me of something you would see off an 80's era car. No me gusta.

I did the red and black thing (black SS with red inserts) and grew tired of it. I switched over to silver inserts and that was it for me.

I had the black SS with Sunoco hood (line up the middle, not completely smooth) and had silver/gun metal grey) painted on the sides of the cowl. Looked KILLER. A lot of people do it, but it also is because its the best combo (in my humble opinion)
